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.
