You came an unexpected gift
and a surprising one too.
And as they placed a label which read
"most valuable" and that I should instead take you by heart
and remove all other arts which were sketched on my mind,
I obeyed,
but opening the wrapper I couldn't find what was promised,
you.
You weren't what they labelled, but I still found you quite intriguing,
as you changed colours like a chameleon, shapes like water
from me struggling with breathing, to those sacs of boulders
which hung from my shoulders to those numerous lashes and beatings,
their scars which I could still find on those tunnels of my mind, the more I grew older.
But they kept insisting still that the label was not mistaken
and that it was just a while uphill when I would finally feel your thrill
and that you would be what your label said all the time
"the most valuable gift that I could ever find"
but instead I found a compensation. Some reparations'
for a ****** a war and those thousands of hours of blood on trail underneath this hill
you were an unexpected gift, a surprising one too
but an unnecessary one still.
