When tragedy strikes, what happens to you? Do you roll yourself up in bubble wrap, box yourself in and pray that no one finds you? or do you b-R-e-A-K into a million pieces and let others pick you up? Reality feels like cork, I push, will it to go and stay                                            T       d                                       O         o                                  N          w                                     N                    d                                l                            u                         o but it          W ...I play zigzags with it in the water, and it still Refuses to                            S                         i                    n                k I am Numb. And I try so hard to remind myself This isn't about me, not at all. The regrets are still there, the could'ves of life You try to make sense of the tragedy and still feel like floating up there with the truth Because even if the truth is dense and heavy, it can defy gravity, much like my tears
