I want you to tell me about every person you’ve ever been in love with. Tell me why you loved them, then tell me why they loved you.

Tell me about a day in your life you didn’t think you’d live through. Tell me what the word home means to you. I wanna know what you think of your first name, and if you often lie awake at night and imagine your mother’s joy when she spoke it for the very first time.

I want you to tell me all the ways you’ve been unkind. Tell me all the ways you’ve been cruel. See, I want to know the first time you felt the weight of hate, and if that day still trembles beneath your bones. Do you think that anger is a sincere emotion or just the timid motion of a fragile heart trying to beat away its pain?

Do you prefer to play in puddles of rain or bounce in the bellies of snow? And if you were to build a snowman, would you rip two branches from a tree to build your snowman arms or would leave your snowman armless for the sake of being harmless to the tree?

I wanna know what you see when you look in the mirror on a day you’re feeling good. Have you ever been a song? Would you think less of me if I told you I’ve lived my entire life a little off-key? And I’m not nearly as smart as my poetry I just plagiarize the thoughts of the people around me who have learned the wisdom of silence.

See, I wanna know more than what you do for a living. I wanna know how much of your life you spend just giving, and if you love yourself enough to also receive sometimes. I wanna know if you bleed sometimes from other people’s wounds, and if you dream sometimes that this life is just a balloon — that if you wanted to, you could pop, but you never would, cause you’d never want it to stop.

If a tree fell in the forest and you were the only one there to hear — if its fall to the ground didn’t make a sound, would you panic in fear that you didn’t exist, or would you bask in the bliss of your nothingness?
