promise yourself this no matter how utterly hurtful something may feel when words are hurled towards you even direct and sometimes on purpose like a tornado an earthquake like Mother Nature breaking, finally when all the dark chasms of this Earth break open and the plates of this planet you were born onto crash into one another birthing explosions of molten lava that spread upon your heart molding an ashen sculpture and the beasts that exist in the void such evil winged creatures begin flying above you as your spirit lie breathless, exhausted, wasted and the last atoms that are left create a nuclear reaction promise yourself this that if one chooses or does not even know that they are releasing all of their insecurities angers hatreds confusions afflictions desires passions and eventually all of their love upon your very soul please, promise yourself this simply forgive. © Susan Marie
