People shouldn't swallow rocks

Tears threaten, and swear words brim on my lips.

And on my fingertips.

I want to reach out with my hand and...

...and change something

But there's nothing to change.

I want to ask "Why?"

...and to whine

...and to pout

I want to start again.

I want to make no mistakes.

I want another go.

I want to get it right
