At The Heart Of It All

Did it fix what was wrong?
You thought it would fix everything.
Escaping from tyranny.
Hoping to look at it as the road behind.

The nightmares got worse.
Sleep is nonexistent.
The cold air is not inviting anymore.
And you are further down the spiral.

The things you loved are now covered in dirt.
Falling apart as you neglect them.
Melting, warping.
Frozen, smashed apart.

All that’s left is you.
Not willing to look at the heart of it all.
Avoiding what’s wrong with you.
Hiding from the consequences of your confrontation.

Such a confrontation should occur.
You fear will end in annihilation.
As you feel it is the only plausible outcome.
It’s either you or them.

There’s no other way.
