If I could fly,
I would discover
what it’s like
to be free.
If I were blind,
I would discover
what it’s like
to see.
If I could cry,
I would discover
what it’s like
to be happy.
If I could sigh,
I would discover
what it’s like
to breathe.
And that is all—
all that I need:
the day I am born,
and the day that I bleed.
It is the journey,
the endless adventure
toward my goal—my final dream—
that I truly, truly seek.
