Then That Too

Janet Kuypers (1998)


I’ve known some things in my life

and some I’ve learned
I know what my limits are
I know then well
and I struggle with these limits
all the time
but that’s who I am
that’s what I’ve known

and I’ve learned what other people’s
limits are, too
and they’re always different from mine
they’re different from my values

and I wonder how people
get to that point

where they don’t care
about their life any more

did they learn that too?

when I see someone in a car
cut somebody else off
I think, how can they do that
how do they get to the point
where they think that’s not
a potential accident
where they think that it’s okay?

maybe I worry too much
maybe everyone else
doesn’t worry enough

how do you make that
line for yourself?
