The color of peace

By Sarah ManningPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

the end was near

Was I the last one on earth?

it works I know

Everything I wanted disappeared from my mind.

Did I have them already

Which illusion did I discover?

Did this year happen?

When was I normal?

When will I trust you all again?

It takes both the good and the bad…

The true meaning of indiscriminate.

I found myself.

Don’t go back.

The woman said it would change me.

It’s not possible I said.

I am not human. It cannot change me.

It didn’t.

I had already changed.

I came to change you.

Will I succeed?

No one ever has before.

Whenever they came before….things went array.

How did I get over him?

I went back to what they did to me.

Incident by incident.

Until everything was cleared.

And he just left my mind freely after that.

They did what they did.

I forget now.

And I have peace.

I refuse to go back.

When they make offers.

I say

No

Thank you

I know who I am now.

Who?

I am the I am.
