Not every bad thing has a lesson. Sometimes life is just unfair and tragic. But all you can do is try to make it through. Eventually, the sun will start shining, and you will be able to appreciate it again. ☀️🌱

I once cursed myself.

Tread on my own toes.

And whipped myself into submission.

People loved me -

but I chose to turn my back

and ignore their cries for my amity.

-

Fed by my own insatiable appetite for hatred,

my mind binged itself on insults whispered by its own creation –

Swallowing cities where the forecast is forever rain.

The thunder materialized and struck down on a scaffolding pole,

The beacon reverberated through the site, a site for a new development,

yet another estate of egos resting in slumber, arrogant to the lightning.

-

I walked the beams of the site on a thin line between depreciation and                                                              obliteration.

It is a dangerous line that I hope I no longer have to teeter off, where I was

Balancing like a tightrope walker with a despondent heart

The crowds eagerly awaiting for my

 downfall.

-

But over time you edged me off that line and I was sent, in a –

crash into the dark void below.

-

Awakening among the filth, I stretch my arms wide.

They hit the walls of my tomb, a shrill ding echoing.

I look around and besides me and the mud, a fresh bundle of anemones

Lie at my feet.

-

A small hole appears in the side of the void,

No bigger than a ladybug.

The pinprick of light I see, I crawl towards:

It turns out to be an illusion,

A cruel trick.

The little hole is filled again, machinery burying the glow.
