How do I?
HOW DO I?
How do I tell the sun
that I am burning in the moonlight?
How do I tell the darkness
that I am afraid in the light?
How do I tell the ocean
that I am drowning in the land?
How do I tell the thunder
that I am deafened in the silence?
How do I tell the fire
that I am burning in the water?
How do I tell the night
that I am lost in the day?
How do I tell the stars
that I can’t count my fingers?
How do I tell the monsters
that I am terrified by the angels?
How do I tell death
that I’m lifeless despite this beating heart?
And how do I tell myself
that I’m still a kid who’s seeking
for peace and love that doesn’t tear apart?
