If I cannot perform
At levels sublime
Should I not dance?
If I do not know
The answer
With complete
Confidence,
Should I not think?
Or wonder?
If I am not the best
Ought I not even use
My best
To access
What experience
Is in fact
Available to me.
If I do not make blissful
Orgasmic sex
Reuniting the male and
female divine
Through the love I find
Should I just abstain?
Remain
Dry?
If I am imperfect
Am I also disallowed
To try
To be
with whatever
I can reach
Even if it doesn’t
Look the way
Your better goodness
Seems.
If I am not as good
As you say I should be
Should I just then give up
On Being
Or simply suffer
Self-Improvement
Long enough
For you to see me
As redeemed.
Then will I be worthy?
Of the love you now
Withhold from me.
