burn

March 30, 2008

why did you come here
because im lost
and i want to go
home

why did you come here
because i heard you
and i want to
know

why did i come here
so i could learn
and believe
in you

why did you come here
so you can bring me back
i know i came
from you

everybody sings of love
when they don’t know
love

teach me love so i can
burn in
love

we keep on living so
we can
die

and when we die
we’ll never
die

it’s all an illusion
but within me
is reality

before you know my secret
you must first be
trustworthy

words are nothing
prove
it

where are you standing

yo
you know i love you so much
you know i respect you so much
that’s why not having you
on my side
hurts me so much

yet
its the uncertainty of
where you stand
that seals my lips
i just listen, only to
cry alone later

so
are you sitting on the wall
with your back leaning towards him
in the future
would i not be able to trust you
with all my heart?

i
would open everything
tell you everything
give you everything
but i have to be sure
because my heart has
been betrayed before

yo
you know i love you so much
you know i respect you so much
thats why not knowing if
you’re on my side
hurts me so much

Inside it’s so empty

This is a complaint about myself.

I’m just a dog. I’ve always been a dog. I thought I had changed myself but I haven’t really. I just changed masters that’s all. I have been looking for the perfect master. I wanted to follow the instructions of that perfect master of mine. Do whatever he wants me to do. Because he’s right and he will always be right and whatever he tells me would be for the best of me.

My current master let me play the dog role for a while. And now he wants me to snap out of it and grow up already and it’s so hard for me.

Deep down inside I wanna be a human being. Deep down inside, I didn’t wanna just do, do, do, do, do. I wanted to understand too. I wanted to really understand. I didn’t just want to accumulate information, master skills, memorize the formula and be a robot. I wanted to have the courage to ask WHY. And I wanted the capacity to understand the answer. And I wanted the capacity to discern truth from falsehood.

So my master, he said to me: go investigate, go check that person out and report back to me. I was terrified. How do you want me to check that person out, I asked, hoping to be given a formulae. ‘Anyway you want,’ he told me. I froze in terror.

So I have to think for myself??

How the hell do I think for myself??

And then I came face to face with all my irrational fears and my imaginary binds and then I stopped dreaming of becoming a perfect dog, I started dreaming of becoming a human being and I had to force myself to have a new dream.

I don’t know how to end this post. Because it’s just the beginning of new things, there’s no conclusion yet.

Now my head’s so full of questions. Confusion, uncertainty, fear, so much fear. Deep down inside, I know my real intention. I just want to know the truth, that’s all. I don’t want to challenge anybody except myself. I have no intention to offend, to hurt, to criticize anybody. I just want to understand.

Inside it’s so empty.

God, please let me understand what you want me to understand.
