Random Leaf #2003 precisely cut

And the magic of it—
you can smile even when you're unhappy.

You, an honest man—
the honestman—
are brave enough
to lie.

Why do you do that?

The world is cruel as it is,
and yet you try—
you try so hard just to make it
As though not.

Your kindness cannot
compare
to the vast sea of evil
the world offers up.
Why be a droplet to
go against it?
You're no tide nor ebb—

Why must you do that?

You alone are not enough
to cover
for everyone’s sin.
You aren’t the second coming.
You’re a nobody—
a stranger—
Maybe a stranger to you too.

Do you even know yourself?

So why—
how can you even?
