Without

Would a world without mirrors
make us
more ugly, or more beautiful?

A world without identity,
more hollow, or more free?

A world without ambition,
more restricted, or more satisfied?

Would a world without reward,
bring us
more sorrow, or more glee?

In a world devoid of time
would we lose track
of what defines us?

Might we
find a whole new world
where undefined,
leads us to peace?

In a world not dictated
by cold calculations
that fuel our fixation
with painting our faces,
in the chase for perfection
ever endless and baseless,

would we discover
yet more faults,
or would I finally see me?

In a world without more,
would we be less?

or finally,

be?
