Questions Not Unalike: 

The fear that others

Will find your twisted damnation and judge it's covers

From front to back without ever feeling 

The impact of the attack

The fear that our words hurt those who don't understand 

I harbour questions not unalike.

I think about it daily, what happens if they see

What if a person who loves me for me

Finds my artistic resonance as ingenuity?

What if he questions my love for him because of a rendition of older times

Presenting my worst moments of sink or swim? 

The answer my dear, is that if it's true, 

The right people won't have to question you

They won't look right through

And skim the pages red with rage

Blue with colder days

They will understand you as your torment grows out

They will probably harbour the same damnation and love you all the same. 

I need somebody who is not afraid 

To look my art, my things, the things I make, dead in the face

And have the courage to stay. 

Because one damn day, when I find you, when I get to know you,

When I finally lock it down, this thing they call love I've once found 

I promise you, whoever you are, you will known damn well you are the only one. 

Despite the darker dippings of this shit we call 'art'.
