Deep Well

I took pride in the fact

That my patience is a deep well

Until it wasn't anymore

Rocks sank to the bottom

One after the other

Rocks made up of broken off pieces

Of life in this world

One by one they sank

Until suddenly the well

Is not so deep anymore

I reach down

As far as I could

Grab a rock

Crush it with my hand

Some rocks I could not break

Completely

Even as my hands start bleeding

Still, I do it again, and again

Til my body feels tired

From diving into the water

And then I realize

How deep it was again

Deep enough to dive in

Well

I guess

It took patience

To get patience back
