Obliterate

Sometime we cannot see what is true

Sometimes we do not know who to trust

In a world where people so often

Want so much of us

Sometimes we just fly blind

On the ride of life

Oblivious to signs

That promote caution

And then we take the deep dive down

To the bottom of that well

Only to realise

What it contains

Is infinite

I have struggled so

To find my home

Wandered lost for years

So hurt

I threw away all of my fears

And opened myself up to monsters

Only to find that angels carried me through

Maybe there all along

Waiting in the wings

Now I know that if I don’t feel strong

I am better off to reach to them

God knows the ways of this world are strange

Truths we thought were true

May rearrange themselves in a day

As we wake to see the entire landscape

Obliterated or rearranged

Dark horizon

Hiding the blue of sky

As we kneel and

Cry

A pool of tears

Over that harshest of necessary goodbyes

That shattered our hearts

Into a million pieces

Forgetting for that moment

That in time it is these broken fragments

That will provide the design

For a new life

The one we must piece together

While we bleed from the cuts

That nearly obliterated us
