Faith

Yong Wan Choi 10.07.12

Instinct handed down from our days as beasts
the power to rise up alone by my own strength

living in pursuit of knowledge and success
I became a speck of dust in this wide world
standing alone in an empty room

an imagined companion
came and stayed with me
washing away pain and tears
and I came to know that I am human

now
all these fragile things
that can no longer stand alone

if I perish, I perish
