would you jump
if you know the water is shallow
would you do it
if the waves will swallow
the idea of who you are
you wanted to stand tall
pushing people away
building walls after walls
do you recall
the last time someone
begged you to stay
at the end this was all hollow
all these sadness, all these rage
you’re better off dancing solo
“leave me alone, come back please”
you jumped from this mountain
to another, hoping to see
those rare flowers
to deem yourself worthy.
t.l.
