How Far is Too Far

Jokes are fun;

They bring us joy;

We can learn how to connect by humor.

But what happens when the “joke” goes too far?

When a text prank crosses the line;

When internet users take one step too far;

When an honest laugh turns into damaged friendships;

How does one mend such tears in life?

Is it repairable?

If one takes paper and cuts into its surface,

They can tape it back, glue its edges;

The damage is still done.

Never forgotten;

Hopefully forgiven.
