Protection

a poem

By Justin BlackPublished 10 months ago 1 min read

I’d rather be full of poison

than full of rain

i’d rather see

Love like a razor

far far away

than risk my skin breaking

every advice and way

but no one knows

that I can’t find the balance

if I don’t know the ends

the distance between

Trusting

and never again.
