Mirror

She sees drowning beings
everywhere
reaches out her hand
to rescue
one by one
until
she is too tired
to move

The next day
she does the same
repeat
the next day

She can’t stop the rescue mission
because she is the one
drowning
Everyday

The saddest person
is often the most giving

Perhaps that’s the only way
to ease the pain
by focusing on others

Thinking about self
or being in touch with their feelings
is beyond what they can bear
