Why it's ok (to fall apart)
August 7, 2014
When everything blurs and the world turns to swirls of color
ripping apart
the pieces falling like leaves
someone will play in the pile of my ruins
Leaves crunch under weight
The child doesn't hear my bones snapping
As he crushes them
And that's ok
Because he laughs
And that takes all the pain away
