why do you weep?
the hard plains leading up to the sway
two parallel nubs higher up
are you withdrawing from this scene
do you wish to trade mountains
for another set of plains instead?
you’re losing your selfhood here
maybe you need more take and take
and less of what i can give
but you know not how to ask
do not ask
retreat from this reality, i implore you
do not satisfy yourself with what people tell you
they do not know what it is you should seek
go into the reality that only you create
i would rather you stand tall
than weep with me
find that which makes you swell
even if that be, someone not like me
i release you
so that you can find your release
come and go freely
