You experience crawling, getting up
Then falling
Repeatedly, Cassandra
It’s been twenty-three years since you
Took your first step, Cassandra
Life dealt you lightning and thunders
Heavy pours and dark clouds
Rainbows and sunshines, Cassandra
How was your life, Cassandra?
You walked through a dark, suffocating
Tunnel, so long, it seemed it’ll never
End.
It seized you, choked you, yet you
Continued to trudge, Cassandra.
When did you become so... strong,
Cassandra?
You reached out your hand
While you were submerged on a
Cold, pitch-black pond.
Did anyone grasp it, Cassandra?
There was a crack on your voice
In the middle of a recital
Blank, judgmental eyes boring
Into you.
Did someone comfort you, Cassandra?
When you attempted to jump, Cassandra,
Was there anyone below willing to
Catch you?
Did anyone catch you, Cassandra?
