I went as far as my feet could take  

away from the noise they make  

only for my ripped soul’s sake.

–

As I went, I crossed a river  

whose water had made me shiver  

no one there for me to deliver.

–

With great effort, I raised my voice  

hoping to be heard amidst the noise  

with every second, I lost my poise.

–

The warmth was fading with my breath  

my mind searched for a nearby hearth  

each second left my heart in dearth.

–

By day’s end, I swam to the other end  

my fragile body began to wend  

into the path which none can mend.

–

Yet I stood, drenched in cold,  

with no warm hand to hold,  

There I remained, silent and bold.

–

I braved the drench without a flame,  

never craved for glory and fame  

my survival was my only claim.

–

My whole body is now dry,  

‘Cause all this time, I did not cry  

which kept me alive and spry.

–

Dear Narcissists, don’t ever think of finishing me  

see, I could cross a perilous sea  

soon, defeat will follow your every glee.
