If I had air for a mind and stone for a heart <br />Would you love me still or rip me apart <br />If I had water for blood and fire for skin <br />Would you still look at me in lust or just see a sin? <br />I ask not in arrogance but wonder and pride <br />I have so many secrets that I wish to confide <br />My sleep never ends yet I remain forever awake <br />In pain from these regrets I once did partake <br />So tell me now, if I was a monster would you see <br />That even as a beast I still am just me<br /><br />Rebecca Pepper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/would-you-could-you-4/
