Did the welled up saltiness in the hammocks of your eyes,
subjugate you?
Did the watery tracings of crests and troughs on the cheeks
humiliate you?
Did the touch of your cold palms on your thighs
invade you?
Did the crescents of your nails digging at your temples
question you?
Looking at the outside
Shuddering in the inside
Will you ever stop?
From changing? ---No!
From diminishing--- I try!
Will you ever see beauty?
In nature? ---No!
In truth? -- how!
Will you ever be free?
From the world? ---No!
From your judgments---I can't!
Will you ever be enough?
For others? ---No!
For yourself---- never!
When--,
Please Stop---Why?
To Breathe! --- Did you ever?
Breaking inwardly
Further.
Farther.
