Show Me

It's amazing to come so far, to learn and grow so much, and see a tiny shard of myself, from years ago, and be absolutley amazed and also cut by my own words. Genius or Madness, you decide.

From November, 2003:

Show Me

You showed me everything
of life and beauty,
but in the end
"just doing your duty."

You could only show
what you could see,
done only to do
and not for me.

You told the truth,
you could not have lied.
Still the truth was but half;
you missed the inside.

Into your depths
I stood and stared.
You never noticed
you never cared.

One sided fool,
Vanity's spawn.
Only in darkness
could I see dawn.

You gathered friends
to shock and amuse
but I now see through
your magic trick ruse.

I see you at last
cold, reflecting core.
You see me as well
Only outside, nothing more.

Into my great fears
did you delve
for inside of you
I saw myself.
