"I" MAG
I. I wake up,
Do I stand?
Do I sleep?
II. I stand on the cliff side,
I look over the edge, beautiful,
Do I jump?
Will I fly?
III. I pick up the ball,
How will I throw it?
Will I do it right?
Will I get him out?
IV. I look in my math book,
Do I need this crap?
Does anyone use this?
I ask my teacher when,
She does not know.
V. Who can I rely on?
People are just stories,
Which story do I like to listen to?
Which morals are for me?
VI. I turn on my television,
Which show shall I watch?
How will it affect me?
When you swim with sharks ...
VII. Who is my mentor?
Do I not talk like the comedian?
Do I not fight like the soldier?
Do I act like the mime?
Do I have an identity or am I a clone?
VIII. What is my purpose?
Am I destine or do I choose?
Do I write my own script?
Who will read it?
IX. Where am I?
Am I on a deserted island?
Am I the only conscious one on a populated one?
The sky is dark, but it does not rain,
What is this place I have lived in all my life?
It is foreign to me.
X. Where did my childhood go?
Did someone steal it?
Did I waste it?
Was one give to me?
How do YOU laugh?
Teach me!
XI. Will I succeed?
I know I can,
Does anyone else know I can?
Who stands in my way?
Shall I slay them or be slain?
XII. Am I awake yet?
Is this a dream?
When will I wake up from this nightmare of confusion?
Whats more, who will wake me?
I am sacred.
XIII. How will I die?
Today?
Tomorrow?
Have I already died?
Who knows me that can keep me alive?
I am alone,
I need to live,
I am not dead,
I am a child ...
