Be

Have you ever thought so hard
that everything you see blurs
and you can feel the earth rotate?

Have you ever hit your fist against a wall
over and over and over again
just to measure how much pain you can take?

Have you ever wished so hard upon a star
that everything else dims and
it becomes the only light you see?

Have you ever fallen asleep
to the ticking sound of the clock
and took comfort that it matched your heartbeat?

Have you ever woken up from a dream
with your hand clutched to your heart
and your eyes damp from too much tears?

Have you ever wondered how it will all end
and asked yourself whether you
have lived too much, enough, or at all?
