rise

Thought! Rise!
As the most paranoid one,
As the most disgusting one,
As the most inhumane one,
As the darkest one,
As the most socially, culturally rejected one,
As the most unthinkable one,

Emotion! Rise!
As the most scariest one,
As the most shameful one,
As the most devastating one,
As the saddest one,
As the loneliest one,
As the heaviest one,

Will I stand?
Can I stand?
How could it be?
How can an emotion take over me?
How can a thought take over me?
I will stand.
I, too, rise!
