It's perfectly okey. I'm afraid, too.

"I started wishing on the stars in the sky instead

I said to the the sun

“Tell me about the big bang”

The sun said

“it hurts to become”

I carry that hurt on the tip of my tongue

And whisper bless your heart every chance I get

So my family tree can be sure I have not left

You do not have to leave to arrive

I am learning this slowly

So sometimes when I look in the mirror

My eyes look like the holes in the shoes of the shoe shine man

My hands are busy on the wrong things

Some days, I call my arms wings

While my head is in the clouds

It will take me a few more years to learn

Flying is not pushing away the ground

Safety is not always safe

You can find one on every gun

I am aiming to do better

This is my body

My exhaustion pipe will never pass inspection

And still my lungs know how to breathe."

Alla val syns inte på utsidan. Endel går inte obemärkt förbi. Atrociteter instängda, tätt förslutna. Ingen behöver veta. Det enda betydelsefulla är att välja rätt.
