One and all want
To separate my head
From my shoulder.
They want not
That my head may stand erect
On my shoulder.
They want not
They have a good intention indeed
There is no doubt.
But it is struck dumb
Because of my accuracy of conformity
The more they want,
The more my head stands erect.

I would like to translate this poem
(cont.) the 'good intention' is 'struck dumb'? ? it sounds as though the 'speaker' is a stubborn person. i wonder who they are who want not. hmm? i'm having trouble wrapping my head around this poem...[to use an 'idiom']..., but i like it. stand tall, head! ! bri ;)
