I Fell
They all fall to splendor
They all fall to despair
I will not idle, I will fondle
I will not dare yet I will compare
I do not see what you see
I do not feel what you feel
Can I be what you be?
I want to know what you knew
If I be human, I am the same
As a human thereafter, I’m different
We are competition, we are games
I live... Did you burn?
I... Am... Not...
An ever will, an ever more, an ever will be
I just thought
I am human, I am free
Oh how I fell
Into splendor and despair
If I but held
Have you a you to compare?
