life has always been a tough thing to understand. to grip onto. the tighter your grip was, the stronger you valued your life. but what if your grip became weak? what if, no matter how hard you tried to grip the bars of life, your fingers continued to slip? sometimes, you have no control over how tight your grip is. i always was considered physically and mentally weak. not only would my grip become frail, but even on those days where my grip was strong enough to get my head above the bars, my tears would fall without thinking, and the bars of life became toxic and wet and my fingers would slip and i would fall. sometimes it's better with nothing to grip onto.
