If a tree falls in the forest
and there's no one around to hear it,
does it truly make a sound?
If a lie is told without care
and there's no one to admonish it,
has a wrong ever been done?
If blood is spilled in the darkness
and there's no scar to mark it,
has there ever been wounding?
If one faces death on the bathroom floor
and there's no one to bear witness,
has an attempt ever been made?
If I scream with all my strength
and there's not a whisper in response,
have I ever been a person to you
in the first place?
