Scribbled Thoughts

Construct a memory

and tear apart

the unneeded,

not noticing

the hidden gems

they contained

and the potential

for greatness

that has now

been lost.

Construct a memory

and tear apart the unneeded,

not noticing

the hidden gems

they contained

and the potential

for greatness

that has now

been lost.

Forget the lesson

you began

as self-doubt

drives you to destruction.

Watch them

reach out

to remind you,

don’t be blinded

from what

you created.

Heal my poison

by charting its properties,

deconstructing

and targeting

every last strain,

can you like

what is left?

Accept the lost potential

and cradle it

in its last moments,

soothing its passing

and praying

your own end

won’t be as tragic

or lonely.

Transfer into understanding,

becoming acquainted

with mattering

and self-worth.

One step at a time

to breathe

for yourself.

Ingest poison

but paralyse its progress,

sitting with death

in a stalemate

and praying your will

is as strong

as you hoped

it could be.

Their actions

shaped your future,

warped any success

into suspicion

and reluctant acceptance.

Will you stop there?

Let your dedication

prove them wrong.

Question your purpose

and offer your life

as expendable,

will someone defend it?

Or agree

that you were

always a mistake

destined

to be sacrificed.

Return to a story

put on hold

while emotions

wandered

to another tale.

Did they grow?

Do they understand

why knowledge

can be painful.
