Listen Good
I want you to listen to me good,
I will only tell you this once,
Take up the mirror and look at yourself,
The reflection you see is broken
A shattered being who has lost his place on earth,
You have to search happiness in his full body,
Grab him by his hands
Look him straight in the face telling him,
"You are mine, you are mine"
It is no lusty desire
As Apollo chased Daphne across the world,
You are no faint dream
That is easily forgot when one wakes,
No, you are my birth right as a child of this earth.
