pain kills, and
betrayal hurts. grief
knocks down your door and
rips your heart while
fear devours your blood.
Shame sends you to a corner
and loneliness makes you
invisible, so you can rot and
die without anyone knowing –
but yet, none of them are
the worst.
~
The worst is hope that
doesn’t kill you – but keeps you
alive, so you can
be almost dead all the time.
~
The worst is hope for it
lifts your spirit and
then plunges it to depths
unknown, and repeats.
~
The worst is hope for it
dissolves your soul ,
burns your self-esteem and
reduces you to an almost non – being.
~
The worst is hope for
it keeps you hanging,
and choking, puking,
and shitting.
~
The worst is hope ,
but yet in the brief moment
it fills you up,
it does so,
fully
and you
are your
true self.
~
And that, I think
is an almost
fair deal.

Yes, I know what you mean. Acceptance usually comes from a period of pain first. Take care.

It’s a letting go, then. That makes sense.
