Stop searching for me
I am not ready to be discovered
Keep me away from the dawning of the day
The less light that penetrates my heart the better
I'm not finished being the bad man
I'm not ready to be the good soldier boy
I wish to be my own
Not a figment of your grand imagination
Not noble
Not wise
Just a man

i would love to sit over a couple of dark beers and discus this poem,
ReplyDeletehmmmmm it has the bones for a good song too
i think the desire to be your own, and "just a man" is to in a sense already have entered into wisdom and perhaps nobility also,
perhaps those that think themselves noble are exactly the ones that achieve no such thing.
Love
Sounds like a good thing to me.
