You.
You look at me
and you see the result.
You see what is
and what hasn’t happened.
But you’re also missing what hasn’t happened
– if you get my meaning.
You see what will never happen in me
but I’m focussing
in what hasn’t happened YET.
You are seeing the failure
but missing the potential.
You think this container
(Me. I’m the container. Why aren’t you getting this)
is closed
is thrown
is done
and gone.
I know, though,
that I am a vessel of potential
that has not been expressed
or experienced
anywhere near its fullest.
You’ll see.
You’ll see the difference in me
eventually.
– or maybe you won’t.
Perhaps to you
I will always be this failed experiment
but I know better
or, at least,
I know different.
