have you ever tried to reach for something that’s simply not there?
or address a problem or concern that takes up your mind but nobody cares?
it feels like eating a train of breadcrumbs
or drinking the last droplets of water
and instead of anyone helping,
they model themselves after absent fathers
and you throw praise into a black hole
and will they ever see it?
