A heavier future to hold up, but you are determined to fight for it, raise it higher even if your arms break, even if it completely crushes you.

Revelations arriving sooner than you hoped, filling the months with purpose and a goal. Maybe, finally, a big enough distraction from the pending trial and verdict.

Restrict intake so sleep will be a reward, ready to rest between endless work, too tired for hobbies, too tired for happiness.

The constant ring of pressure verbalised makes eyes ache and temper strain. Always the same with no sympathy, how much more should you carry before snapping?

Empty evidence stain the cleanliness you spent all day achieving. Your reward is gone into a thoughtless mouth, one whose regret will be brief and non-repentant.

Stone walls don’t get angry or take things personally. Just pause and absorb everything into brick then carry on so peace remains and you crumble slowly, slowly, but they’ll continue to smile.

Lose your vision of the future, the foretold proclaim, will it stop you from living an inspired life? Will your will to keep moving open the eyes of the closed around you, even though yours are now forever shut?

Shadows tease and open confusion, disorientate, give hints of the light you used to know, but now its too bright and distracting to help. Is it better to cut it completely and embrace the unforgiving dark? Have no more harsh shadows dancing a world you can’t return to.

Speed ahead to rack up more dollops of delight and forget the painful procedure of packing them one by one for others to enjoy later.

It’s okay to have a plan and anticipate the change, preparing for a new life, adjusting before it happens. But fear isn’t a weakness, you can be scared of what’s to come even as you embrace it. It doesn’t mean you fail, it means you’re still alive.
