what values do you hold, that are not evident, in the way you live your life?
and my answer came over lines
with short breaths
and long pause,
and i forgot the question
with time gone
and space across,
while i was escaping
with one foot rooted
back where i should have been,
through too many values
that aren't evident
in the way i live my life.
-
and the answer stabs
in the back of the head
shivering in sobs and moans,
while i was stalwart stone
with quiet strength
choking down survivor's guilt,
for the major brain damage
revealed in the last look
at the boy that never wakes up.
-
and i value that
which i never speak
for fear of living through it,
and dying for
or because without it
is just easier than not being there.
and i value those
that i'll never be
who've lost more than i have to gain,
or who wont come back
to be something else
untrue and damaged and weak.
-
and my answer came
like a wound that can't heal
without being evident in my life.
and i value that
which i never show
for fear of losing the way i live it.
