Destruction

Love more, laugh more

Smile more, learn more

Striving to be better

To be one

To be whole

Welcomed challenges and assaults

Stood no match

To dismantling a solid platform

Sudden and fast

No chance to secure

No second to spare

All it took was one

To forget all you stood for

Fires burning

Choas brewing

In solidarity standing

Invisible war I prepared for

No longer thinking or feeling

Focusing on before

Can’t adjust to what’s coming,

What’s happening

Platform crumbling

In solidarity standing

Unaware of the broken floor

Too late to mend

Ruble on the floor

In solidarity standing

What happened to my floor?

Pleading and crying

To my knees I’m praying

Why can’t it be like before?

Devastation growing

Sadness building

My heart is breaking

For my life before

Inside screaming

“How dare you feel the way you are feeling!”

It is your doing that led to a crumbling floor

In solidarity

On my knees I keep praying

Broken and confused

Humiliated and devastated

Why did I think I needed more?

Inadequately feeling

I’m told, “sometimes it takes what we think we want to show us that we don’t need more ”

On my knees I’m praying

Give me the strength

To rebuild a solid platform

But better than before.
