Clarity

Once in a while, unpleasant moments of clarity.

Disruption to the narrative laid out.

Interruption of the illusion that was carefully made.

Enormity of the disparity.

Crafting the web of deception, this happy life.

Balancing the knives that cut to stop the bleeding.

Hiding in the dark because it is easier than the truth.

Fear of the unknown greater than the most brilliant light.

Tormenting yourself with the promises they might keep.

Succumbed to the inevitability of probability.

Trying your best to extinguish the ember within.

Unrelenting in the pursuit of self fulfilling prophecy.
