I Will Be Borne

  When I came I thought,
If I am good enough,
They will know,
And I will be borne.
  When they stood I thought,
Maybe they have seen me,
They wonder how I have hidden,
And I will be borne.
  When they were silent I thought,
In a moment I will explode,
They are in awe,
And I will be borne.
  When they passed I thought,
It is only temporary,
They will return for me,
And I will be borne.
  When they left I thought,
My heart is a wasteland of idiots,
They saw no talent,
And I will not be borne.
  When they returned I thought,
It is not me,
They have found someone else,
And I will not be borne.
  When I was alone I thought,
Until I found strength myself,
They would not find me,
And I would not be borne.
  When I realised this I thought,
Why wait at all,
Their confirmation I should not need.
And I knew I was borne.
