BLOOM

It doesn't matter how fast I run , darkness always finds me.

Even when I think I've done enough to keep it far away from me , I feel something that's waiting for me.

Something expected but unexpected at the same time.

Something that keeps me awake at night with millions thoughts and zero answers.

So that's why now , even though I run as fast as I could , I find myself in the same dark forest.

There's no hope.

No escape.

Just myself. The me that I always am afraid to show. With too many worries and too many burdens.

I just can't think of a way to escape from this place.

There's no one here that can help me.

All around there are just a few unfortunate beings that seem to be about to die. Some of them are so small that I could take them into my hands if I'd want , some are so big that they can even tower above the trees.

They seem to know me.

They ask my help.

They scream my name.

But I cannot reach them even if I would.

There's something in my stomach that holds me down. My hands are shaking and an invincible disturbance blurs my sight.

Suddenly I see a light. It becomes bigger and bigger until I realise it's fire.

This fire keeps coming towards me while I'm unable of moving; then it hits me right into my chest.

I don't feel pain , instead my heart is becoming warmer , my soul awakens and I feel like something is leaving my body.

As soon as I press my hands on my chest , a little flame comes from it and I realised that now I'm able to move.

I can reach the creatures , but right now  they seem to feel as fine as me .

They smile at me with no fear in the eyes. Some of them try to reach me and to talk to me.

The more I listen to them , the more I feel like I'm knowing myself again.

All of my flaws.

All of my lies.

All of my mistakes.

Just as I interact with them I realised how dumb I was to let this darkness fill my days and my nights.

To let her live inside of my heart and affect all of my personas.

As I think about it , I realise that a light in the sky is starting to shine  and on the trees, that no so long ago were bere , pink and soft flowers are blooming.

When I returned my head towards the unfortunate beings , they seem no longer unfortunate. Their eyes shine bright as mine , their looks don't scare anymore and the little flame that came from my torso earlier is still in my hand.

I smile and replace it to its place. In my soul , in my heart.

Now it's my turn to bloom.

Because no darkness , no season can last forever.
