Teach Me
If you look with your eyes,
You'll be blind
If you listen with your ears,
You'll be deaf
If you speak with your mouth,
You'll be mute
If you can -
(And most can't),
Turn yourself inside out
Flip yourself upside down
Take your backward
Make it your forward
Make sure your up
Won't be your down
Then teach yourself not
To hide behind yourself
Then teach me how
Then.
Teach.
Me.
How.
