I must have been a beast before, long for the open & the hidden. Silence in my head & heart. Vast wilderness & without fear. I must have been a killer before. Rage, pillage as far as I can reach. Then some more & more & more. Fire and thunders rejoice & chase. I must have been a man before. Violent without constraints. Do whatever I please with no charge. Take whatever whoever without remorse. I must have been a monk before. Look down upon the trifle struggles. Look up to find hunger in the soul. Forfeit a candle for an incense. I must have been young before. Spend years hiding all the rest. Fight for a path that's my own. Only to wake up one day to realize that I must have been alive before.
I must have.
