cherishable limits
a villanelle
Made to be broken
We can't go far
Cherishable limits, indeed rules are
There once was a time we believed in omens
And taught that we aren't
made to be broken
Though same is the water you currently soak in
Those deeper may harbor the beasts that bring harm
Cherishable limits, indeed rules are
Complex beings whose time so thin
These bodies of ours are
made to be broken
Though death may hold nothing for children to hope in
Solace is found apart from the stars
Cherishable limits, indeed rules are
So shatter the structure on which you stand
And with what remains, make yours these
cherishable limits, because rules are
made to be broken
