I have seen a man rob another man while he was sleeping.

I have existed in a schizophrenic state of self-less and selfish.


Many times I lost hope and felt this was the bottom of my rope.

Took upwards of a decade to learn how to cope.


And in this very moment after all the lessons…

 I could still look you in the face and utter an I don't know.


Subway in Queens or camels in Giza. I've seen many walks of life.

So I take a step back and choose not to run. 


Most things I’ve done were just for fun.

Laughed it off when asked to justify. 


Questions like who and what am I?
I derive from my other eye.


I’m blind but I feel my way out the dark.

It’s a start, Even go as far to call myself smart.

I must find a way to produce my existential art.
