what if all the things you see right now
were to disappear somehow

would you lose your mind?
if you did, would it be hard to find?

you keep looking, but it's gone and ran away
now you're stuck mindless, and you're here to stay

what if you could really see into me,
would be disgusted by what you would see?

what if, in me, you found you're own personal savior
would it change your behavior?

what if all of the people you think you know
were really just souls, and their bodies were buried in snow

would you no longer look into their eyes?
would you consider it unwise?

what if you could look into your reflection
and not see yourself with the infection

the infection of not being able to see yourself as you will be
the infection that stops you from being able to truly see

what if you didnt need your body to survive?
what if, without it, your mind would thrive?

what if you woke up one day, to find that you were all alone
and for everyone else, there was only one grave stone

what if you dreamed them all into existence?
from their grave stone, would you keep your distance?

what if you needed them to make it through the day?
would you be willing to rely on them if there was no other way?

what if you heart didnt pump blood?
what if there were little creatures in your veins, and to them it was just a flood?

what if you're heart was filled with rust?
and you were dead, but your body would never return to dust?

what if your birth didnt require a parent?
what if how special you are, isn't apparent?

if you are truly this special, then give me a call,
because, if you are, i can rise you up above it all.
this particular poem was inspired by right where it belongs, by NIN
i hope you enjoy it!
