On me.

I am a guru, a guiding spirit.
I am a cheerleader, a rouser of the sleeping potential.
I am a saint, a soul made to care for other souls.
I am an instructor, to show you enough to let you go.
I am an enemy, the convenient excuse.
I am a machine, living on routine.
I am an inspiration, so you can do what I cannot.
I am an expectation, patient unfolding of silent observations.
I am a man.

I am me.

(“karwee” is a nickname for my real name: Keith Roland Watanabe. As with all nicknames given in adolescence, the source and origin are long lost. But I advocate efficiency so the less syllables it takes for someone to say my name, the better.)
