you have no idea
how many times
my pen
has kept me
from falling off the edge.

you have no idea
how much I yearn
to be more than a person
struggling to survive again

you have no idea
you do not know.
If I gave you my shoes
your feet will wither
like thirsty flowers.
They will crumble into dust
like ash

because unless
we are the same
you will never understand
you will never know
how ink has replaced my blood
and revives my soul.
