I am a rung on your ladder of broken souls

[bodhicea]

There were other souls broken before mine, and while the better part of me hopes your pain inflicting days are over, there's the part who knows they're not, even hopes they're not. Because it's a pattern, and patterns are easier to deal with. If you have a pattern, it's easier to pretend that I was inconsequential

You figure it out, sort of. You learn how to throw up the stop sign when words and deeds become painful and nearly out of control. (We literally say "Ok, stop sign's up.")

Somehow, it works out.
