Illusion
Karolina Marszałkowska 1993 (Gdańsk)
You say I am pure
But what do you really know?
Evil I can't cure
Within me there is no glow
I am not a lucent being
I'm made from clay and dirt
Heavens I am not seeing
I can bleed and end up hurt
You imagine I am angel
That I fly on skies above
But I also can be dangled
You are wrong , I'm not a dove
I am just what God made me to be
And what came out now you can see
Stop arguing , you should agree
You are caught by illusion , I am free
