A sacrifice

Why?

This world is nothing but a  photo frame. No matter how much gold you decorate it with, no matter how many sleepless nights were spent on it, it is worthless, worthless without a picture in it. A picture which has emotions, emotions of perhaps birth, birth of one in this world, or perhaps a picture of a loved one who has been passed on to the hands of the lord.

This world can be decorated with huge buildings, buildings of many colours, even people, people of many numbers. But it always remains incomplete.

The mere presence of this world is nothing but a curse, a curse to its creators.

It has done nothing but tarnished the earth , ruined it's waters and awakened the anger of the fire and wind.

Years have gone by, everything has changed. No, it isn't the trees or the birds, not the frozen water at the crown of the earth but the humans.

The humans who had learnt to live in harmony, the humans who vowed to protect everyone and everything it is them who changed, them who started a war, them, who hurt everyone.

I still remember the horrified face of the sun before she slept, the way she trembled left me confused........until I saw it, the sight which should have been hidden. The whole world in a war, a war of jealousy, a war which brought destruction, a war which was named. I can never forget those innocent people, their children, those innocent faces lost in bloodshed.

When I had been asked to sacrifice I was also given a power...

Power which allowed people to sleep, which allowed them to see the earth through my perspective, this power due to which people worship me is all a sham in front of love.

I went to him, the lord, begging him to finish the world. Begging him to let me meet the sun again. But he denied.

"Give them another chance!" he said, referring to those humans, "They are still learning about this world, they will soon go on the right path and pay heed to me", "Don't you worry this war's soon to end". I was heartbroken at his answer but I couldn't do anything......or that's what I thought.

It is today that I have decided to not let regret take over me, years from now humans may find a way to destroy me and I would be left with nothing but regret, regret of staying away from the sun so I could protect those people.

It is today that destruction must be caused by not humans but me, not the fire's anger but me, not wind's force but me, not the waters pressure, but me.
