How Many? Poem by Josh Ras

how many times?
how long?
how many times must i
hang on?

how many trials till i
get my relief?
how many times will you try to break me?

it's easy to hate
the faceless
it's easy to silence
the voiceless
it's easy to break
the formless
but you cannot crush
the soulless

how many trials till i
get my relief?
how many times will you try to break me?

too many times
too long
too many miles
too far gone

how many trials till i
get my relief?
how many times will you try to break me?
