Crash


She sits alone as the chill of the winter’s eve embraces her.  Serenity settles in, finally, after such the arduous wave of disquieting emotions.   She was brought to the brink of absolute desolation after just one encounter. The surge of adrenaline supported her throughout the entire experience, making her feel stronger in fact.  When in all reality, she was still the same wounded soul, trying ever so valiantly to make her way through this world of disillusionment and mayhem.  

As the sun sets on the horizon, her scarcely developed feelings of contentment are now replaced with those too familiar feelings of despondency and turmoil.  The tears come flooding through without warning, leaving their mark down both cheeks and the front of her blouse.  As the last tear drop falls from the edge of her jaw, she feels an overwhelming sense of complete and total exhaustion settle in.  She barely makes it to her bed and clambers in between the sheets before she drifts off into her subconscious world, where all is well and nothing can touch her inner peace…

  1. With every crash, there is recovery. There is hope, there is strength, there is love. You are surrounded with positive energy from all those who love you. Absorb it and be complete. Love you!!
