If I Could

Published on 6 January 2015 at 09:14

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.
