répétez s’il vous plaît

if you would

please repeat after me

I am more than enough

I am the same ape that built

A-Bombs⛧

the Hagia Sophia©

and The Slinky™

if I suffer

it is not alone

even alone

I am among the lonely

if I fail

it is not the end

if I fail it is a beginning

so I will fail and fail again

all of us are born in flames

all of us prepared for a

world on fire

I have received this life

because it is mine

because it is mine to master

I will never again bow

I will never again kneel

no hand will touch me

that I do not invite

no word will touch me

that I do not invite
