Erase my memories
full them away like the dry skin on my thighs
that reminds me of the cool April nights
when I was lying sunburnt in the bed
that I'd slipped into careless and worriless.

Take away the thoughts of freedom
that my whole being centeres around,
like a moth flies around a flame as long as it is burning and sheds light in the darkness
to gather all those that need the same and long for it.

Blind my eyes
and let me never see again the beauty of the rising sun
to make me forget that there is hope and beauty in the world,
try to make my eyes not see the first snowdrops when they push their way
through the melting snow and the cold earth.

Destroy my senses
so that I don't feel the fresh cut grass under my bare feet anymore
and make my skin numb for the first warm rays of sunlight
so that I won't miss what I never knew,
and take away my smile because I won't need it anymore.

Try to take away my individuality,
my failures, my mistakes, my faults,
my thoughts, my talents, my sucess,
and I will show you what it means to be free.
