to know, they don't.

-to quit, 

at a pivotal moment

is to disown it

is to hone in on 

what is really needed-

for one to

not be reprieved

for quitting 

rather to be praised 

for 'sitting'
out 

for going about

it in a way 

deemed unfit

to a nobody 

who will never 

understand 

for most people

don't

they won't 

they can't

understand 

and when you 

understand

that
it's not
in their ability to

you'll stop 

the hurt

hurting
its that space
that space that exists
between living
and sharing
the gap,
its like the waters under
the Golden Gate Bridge
in San Francisco
do you know
what I'm sayin'?
