I would tear apart this constricting veil
That chokes my mind and cleats me to this soil:
I would try, and try again, and gladly fail,
And consider it worthy of my toil
If only I could see in me some change,
If only I could find that other me:
If only I could venture past the strange
That is the normal, to set me free.
There, if I could but find it is my self,
There, in that deep darkness, who I want to be:
There, silent, secret, is the hidden wealth
That is my spirit and my destiny.
Be not surprised if one day I break my shell:
I wish to see the heaven in this hell.
April 2002
Do you ever realise that you’re trapped and heavy? Do you ever feel that there’s a different you, waiting to break free? Do you ever think that this reality is not the only reality?
