~ rewind, replay,
regret, repeat. ~


I stop on this
crafty bridge of time,

scraping my nails
against
the rails of reasons
piercing my gut,

scarring
my already
withered psyche,

clouding my
tarnished mind,

clawing at my
distorted reality,
excruciatingly;

questioning
my existence .

Today it changes.

People hate despair
But I want it all
Happiness is a trap
Prosperity is a loll

Once get belittled
Do not shrink, get big
Once broken-hearted
Pick the pieces and leave

You remember the wound
An ember will soon be fire
Collect the sticks and the stones
Slowly build the empire

Don't avoid the sudden knock
It's the sling and you're the rock
If you were beaten to the ground
You're the Champion, don't lay down!
