how am I supposed to be something to you
I don’t even know what I am supposed to be to me
first I figure:
I forget
everything I possibly can they said
everything they said about my culture
everything they said about my people
everything they said about my family
everything they said about my parents
everything they said about me
second I figure:
I learn
everything I possibly can
everything possible about my culture
everything possible about my people
everything possible about my family
everything possible about my parents
everything possible about me
Now is when it started
Now is when I see
I see
my self clearly
know my self clearly
understand enough clearly
I was never supposed to be something to you
I was always supposed to be something to me
clearly I see how it was all divided:
cultures
peoples
families
parents
me
The verity in and of creation is art
The verity in and of the universe is art
Art is not separation and division
it is the creative expression of the whole
Art dose not dictate that you hate the flower and love the moon
Art does not dictate that you reason the ocean superior and sky inferior
If you let it
Art teaches individual and mutual appreciation of the two as two
and as one
I don’t need to be something to you
You don’t need to be something to me
Some say it is their plan
Some say it is how they stay in control
we already were something
we already are something
we always will be something
we just needed to see
the beauty of the art that is eachother
the beauty of the art that is you
the beauty of the art that is me.
