• you came up to me
    and you threw insults at me
    unwanted debris

    and suppose I had slapped you back
    just to break my own fall
    and you cracked your back
    and I walked away
    satisfied

    but..
    I didn't slap you
    I hit the ground
    full force
    and my life was askew

    and I won't deny it
    It hurt me
    It broke me
    It shattered me

    but..
    look at us now
    you know why we're like this?
    beacause I
    hurt
    broke
    shattered

    you know why else?
    you never told me

    but..
    i'm sure you
    Hit the ground
    and you
    hurt
    broke
    shattered

    because we were trying
    to protect
    something that had already
    broken

    and we both
    realised
    we were wrong

    And now
    I hear in my mind
    you
    congratulating me
    for passing your test
