They matter:
The ones who cried
Just before the lights went out.
They live:
The ones who broke
Just before their youth began.
They amaze:
The ones who stand
Just before it was another dawn.
They hide:
The ones who lost
Just before the war began.
They love:
The ones who sang
Just before our poetry failed.
They walk:
The ones who hurt
Just before their legs wore out.
They write:
The ones who live
Just before we spin toward disaster.
Those who matter, live, amaze, hide, love, walk--they write.
Please don't medicate yourself until you can write yourself out of tragedy: Nothing that words can't heal.
