know " " me


Know me?

you want, to "know".....me?

No you don't

are you sure you want to "know" me?

 

Can you feel, not hear, the rhythm of a song

does music course through your veins faster and thicker than A+,  still not satisfyng the lonely, slow beating thing in your chest you refer to as a heart

 

And you say you want to "know" me???

Why not someone else?

find someone interesting

someone not me

 

To "know" me is more than knowing about me

to "know" me is not learning of my hardships

To "know" me, you would have to be me

you would have to feel my emotions and think my thoughts just as I feel and think them

To know me is to understand the pain and frustration of greatnes trapped in a shell of averageness

 

Oh

I'm sorry

You dont want to know me, but rather what makes me tick

That my friend has a painfully simple and obvious answer

 

God

Were you looking for more???

I'm not sorry, but that is my answer

 

But back to that other question

knowing me

if you really want to "know" me, you understand who created

understand what it is that makes me tick to "know"
