20 May 2008

how is my humanity defined
what is a person supposed to be

can you see i have hair like you do
does that make me anything like you
what place are you in now
and what place am i in now,
and is it sort of the same place
(since we were sort of born at the same time)

to be human,
is it necessary to know exactly who you are all the time,
and who you want to be in a forever future,
and the meaning of every minute detail of your life
(because there are a lot of details that seem sort of mundane or meaningless)

how am i supposed to know whether this moment will be important or not tomorrow
(because right now it sort of just feels like a moment)

You are really talented. I like the last part of the 2nd stanza and the third stanza in this one.
