Pieces of You
Tablo
My heart was closed. cold.
I was self-conscious and cynical.
These are the pieces of my youth,
the small secrets and the not-so-great expectations
that defined my coming of age.
But through this craft, through my love for writing,
I discovered a world outside of the small windowless one
I had built for myself.
A world of soft spoken beauty.
So here I am,
choosing to kick away the ladder
so that I may remain at your side.
I understand your solitude
I see your shadow.
2009.Feb.
我曾经内心封闭、冰冷。
我曾经敏感、玩世不恭。
这是一些关于我年少时的片段，
一些小秘密和不太远大的期望早已定义了我的未来。
但通过这些作品，通过我对写作的热爱，
我发现在我封闭的小小世界之外，
我还为自己建造了一个新的世界。
一个充满温和语言的美丽的世界。
所以我现在
选择去踢开那些阻碍我们的梯子，
这样我也许就能一直待在你身边。
我能明白你的孤独
我能看见你的阴影。
Mom and Dad.
Damon and Duke, I’ ll see you in heaven.
我将在天堂与你们相会。
