I despise myself

for everything I can't do --


like other students.


Ik veracht mezelfIch verachte mich
om alles wat ik niet kan --für das, was ich nicht tun kann --
zoals anderen.wie die anderen.

Zywa Rewrite the rules

Your house can be my house
our house, a nice house
I love you

if you don't want to be more
than I am and want to be more
than you are, not a boy

but a man who dares
to see me as Í see me
then you'll see more

of reality than you think
you see with your self-conceit
Look carefully, look better, I am

not a lesser man, I am
more than your expectations
How far do you dare?

Poem 1985
