To understand

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
