WithheldA Poem by Kuo YishengI can’t stand it anymore Green walls and wooden door Moss blanket and nothing more I wish to live on the ocean floor Drowning with my scuba tank Open up the valve I watched me sank Do you not see what you have A worried mom and dad I hate to press it, but it must be done Lines across the globe, mine’s overrun The shadow’s all upon you now Crackling fire on the wooden bow Given what you have in store You’re all dried up there’s nothing more Mercury puddle in a desert I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I II I I I I I II I I I II I I I II IIII I II I I II II II I I IIII I I I II I II I -If you show me stitches show me them undone -If there’s something in the shadows, keep it there -If there’s a person in the shadows, wait for the right time -If one person’s satisfaction comes at the cost of another’s, play a new game -What’s the point of enjoying something if you don’t have someone to share it with? -Why have a sword when you’re not in combat? It’s the same reason you laugh when you see people fall You know I’m still here?
