Hurt

Written by Jacob Ibrag

‘And what if I fall?’ Then it

will hurt for a while. ‘Then why even

try?’ To hurt, for a while. To feel. To learn

how to walk without the fear of tripping. To

trip. To be present. To live. To truly exist.

    I cannot stop marvelling at how you play with words to bring forth such works. This is so relatable.

    Well stated. Why reach? What is the cost of not reaching?

    This is so amazing! I feel like these words explain life itself. There are so many things that come our way and yes, some might hurt. But we must tackle them, in order to, as you wrote “truly exist”.
