so what do you know?

do you know what it's like to cross oceans over imaginary bridges
do you know what it's like to swim across a sea of questions
do you know what it's like to make friends with peril and break it
do you know what it's like to make a clay face smile
do you know what it's like to run after having ran after someone
do you know what it's like to turn the pages of a wordless book
do you know what it's like to mirror your thirst in an empty glass
do you know what it's like to feed on crumbs of attention
do you know what it's like to look for purpose and see only reason
do you know what it's like to cook dreams for supper
do you know what it's like to wait for the anxiety train
do you know what it's like to draw chains around your own mind
do you know what it's like to be the knife in search of its fork
do you know what it's like to be the fork that needs no knife
do you know what it's like to name your price and mean it
do you know what it's like to step in and out of this life
do you know what it's like to have your hope bleeding with disgust
do you know what it's like to clean it up and fix it?
