CONFLICT | INNER TURMOIL

You’re Born A Human, Not A Monster

We love and we loathe. We help and we harm. We reach out a hand and we stick in the knife.

Simon McCarthy-Jones

I would really appreciate it if you could please stay on the page 
for at least 30 seconds to help me support my work as per Medium's new changes.

i hope that you will come to your senses to gentler shores where kindness sway that you would stop doing the things you do to me the things that cause me pain

i hope that you can understand that even with our mutual ground we each have our own path to tread i’ll walk mine and you’ll walk yours

i hope that you’ll see that whatever darkness that’s festering inside you has nothing to do with me for i hold no such power

i hope that you would not cast your shadow upon me suffocating and choking me in this relentless darkness that you’ve created

i take in each of my breath softly trying to be as quiet as i can so that you wouldn’t notice me i have lived in fear not knowing when you’ll strike again drawing blood at my yet to be healed wounds old wounds and reopened wounds it’s a heavy weight to bear as if the guillotine would come down on my neck at any moment

you have torn my life and dreams asunder i believe there was nothing left for you to destroy but yet, you’ll seek anew to plunder and plunder no matter how i strive to heal and move on you persisted like the dark looming dawn

it makes me wonder what ails your heart it’s something that only you and God knows what can turn a beating heart so cold

if you’re hurting inside i hope you’ll find the understanding and the closure at last please remember that i played no part in your wounded past

if it’s insecurity that grip you i hope you’ll find assurance and confidence you don’t bulldoze the home of others just because you are envious of them you shouldn’t have to compare yourself with others in any other way

if you are seeking pleasure in others’ woe for stepping on hearts causing tears to flow i hope you can take a look at what you’ve done at what point can a human heart can find true happiness in that?

i hope that the ugliness in your heart can be taken away where it had lead you astray i know that there’s no inherent good or evil but good or evil choices we make and the path we decree

you’re born a human not a monster i hope you’ll find your conscience within your heart let peace reside within may kindness and love soothes you like balm for your soul
