詩 Survival

The fear of lack of resources
Why should I care if anybody cares?
Life in a dysfunctional family
The mitzvah is not to help

You help only by escaping
In an intolerable situation
You can help only in dying well
Or in showing there is a way out

If I help you to survive the horror
Less pain now means more pain later
If I keep you afloat, then when I am gone
You will drown, without being ready for it

April is National Poetry Writing Month
