A Choice Parallel

Conscious Crossroads

By Tor BranchPublished 3 months ago 1 min read

The Choice

Parallels we live

Sides that want to be balanced

The feeling like it is a finger touch away

Where the air feels different

An inner flame that burns, not to rise above

But the inner workings of hate

mindset is quick to remind yourself of the reality lived

an unhappy one to face

because in another parallel without the one spark of light

a light that no longer shines just from me

does not make me break

I am not mad

I can never be angry

because that is a life lived

where hope becomes mistaken, evaporated in the midst

a white blanket of snow shivers and is cold

a way to look for a new start, a new beginning

only for the ache to spring

the letting go of a hand, the subtle stop to a laugh

Before the remembrance that it may never happen again

a way to look for a new start

a new beginning

only for the ache to spring

When did joy become a meme

Why is there a celebration and entertainment onto the screams

Numb

Shame

from loving the same

BALANCE

always seeking

no more wasting time
