I can't imagine anything else

It feels pointless to try

I was given this

Whatever it is

Everything it is

Painful, scary, heartbreaking

Sometimes beautiful

Beautiful enough to keep me here

 

Continue,

Continue

 

There might be more

Something good

Holding out for magic

Things I felt when I was young

Before reality was cement

It feels like lifetimes ago

Ancient pain

Ancient fear and guilt and shame

I can't distinguish now from then

I am wrapped up in it

Trapped by it and caged by it

Changed by it

Chained to it

Is living truly to suffer

I see that now

 

Continue,
