Falling from the Earth.

Remembering the lost words just moments before I plummet deep into the abyss. I see truth around me, it stings my eyes. Lies are breathed into my ears and burn my soul. I raise my arms to block the stares of those who succumb to the calumny injected into the system of failure. I carefully place precious glass ornaments into my pockets as I continue my decent, upwards – far away from Earth. My fragile existence is violently ravaged by malicious intent, vituperation and poison that slowly infects my soul.

I am left bare, only bones remain.

They are not brittle. They are in fact, stronger than the voice that breathed them into existence over billions of years of evolution. I no longer allow your venom to transude my thoughts. I am surrounded by joy, friendship, contentment, dreams, and children. I am stronger than you. I will survive. I will grow, change and evolve.

I will live.
