NaPoWriMo, Day Twenty-Six, Poem Twenty-Six

"Get Help"
 
It's they
who gets
to decide
how long
you get
to survive
openly.
Well 
people
don't say
why they
weren't 
well. 
Hurt 
people
love 
hurting
other 
people
who say
what 
hurt them.
Help you
to help
yourself
to stay
quiet. 
They will
prefer the
pebble 
that makes
no sound
dropping
into 
water
because
it walks
in before 
it's thrown.

Grassy Swamp...
Chad jumps in...

Water in my ear...
