Content warning: Implications of attempted suicide
Amidst the chaos
There is a man hauled over a ledge
His hand reaching out to grasp thin air
The absence of someone to pull him up to safety
Amidst the chaos
There is a woman tied with her arms behind her head
Her throat is split up as she suffers in agony
The absence of anyone to hear her pleas
Amidst the chaos
There is a boy who puts stones in his pockets
and looks out onto the sea
Child,
The problem is not often as bad as you think
You are young
Naïve
And the weight of the world will not rest on your shoulders for as long as you believe
Amidst the chaos
I ask you to see the hope within you
that persists to fight this turmoil
For a life is not well lived if we do not go through chaos to have a chance at feeling relief
Amidst the chaos
Child, empty your pockets
For it shall pass
Turn around boy
Turn around
