Limits
I went to the river and drowned
I went to the forest and screamed
I went to the shelter nearby and cried
I went to my head and asked:
If anyone in this whole damned world would truly take you seriously? Seriously enough to understand or know?
Acknowledgment is enough.
So I knew I had to simply,
Drown until I reach the deaths of the ocean
Scream until my voice will never be heard again
Cry until someone keeps them in jars…
They say my tears are precious.
Until;
UNTIL, you know,
You’re worth it.
