Favorite Quote:
"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all." - Oscar Wilde


You drip down through the cracks in my sheltered form,

worming your way into my weakest places like the rain through a leaking roof,

and though I have learned to be silent and still,

it is only because my joints are corroded

and my lips have grown over with mold.

This is for the times when you are not allowed to defend yourself, when you are not allowed to speak, when you are shut down by another person because they refuse to compromise or hear your side. I understand.
