For what reason must I feel mutilated?
For what reason is this pain somuch greater?
For what reason must you make me feel restricted?
For what reason must you be so demented?

Take my flesh if you must and make yourself a mask which will surely protect you from their consternation...
Take my heart and put it where your own once existed to make you more courageous...
Take my bones and shelter yourself from the columnies you fear so much...
Take my eyes and maybe you'll see the world in a different light.

Take everything.  Maybe then, and only then I will have a good reason to feel mutilated!
Only then I will know for sure why this pain seems greater!
Only then I will not feel restricted from you because I will be part of you!
Only then, I will understand you, for I will be just as demented as you.
  


Better to have 10% of something than a 100% of nothing.
