beside myself
for a while
to observe myself
from a distance
to wonder why
i stand like i stand
to wonder why
i wear what i wear
to wonder why
i look like i look
to wonder why
i fear what i fear
but then
to learn of fear
i would want to
re-enter myself
to see what i see
to hear what i hear
to feel what i feel
and maybe to smile
and maybe to cry
and maybe
to wonder why
i am who i am
and never
to find the answer
