There’s an apocalypse in my eyes – but I’ll only get to see it when I die; for the moment of my demise. Bring back the day; for I am acutely aware that time runs its course, on an endless mile – an infinite stretch. It pains me to don a fake smile, yet it appears simpler when they insist, I haven’t worn it in a while. _I’m a lot happier inside!_ I have a few events scripted, priming my heart for people’s let-downs, and my disappointments – when you’re ready to face a torrent of hurt, you find yourself anchored, awaiting their appointments. _Pain is faceless!_ The past lingers with a relentless patience, ever eager to unveil how you did it wrong – in the garden of life, regrets sprout like stubborn weeds. Do tend to your plot, and sow the seeds of every lesson learned, and hope wisdom grows. _You’ve been the prettiest flower all along!_
