Member-only story

Defeated

My point of no return

A crumbling world and a blind woman stumbling around in the rubble.

Stop!

The world spins without me,

Silently,

Unendingly.

I want off,

Out,

Enough,

Time-out.

Breathe,

Inhale deeply,

Hold on tight,

Battle discreetly.

I’m lost,

My heart shattered,

I’m no longer living,

For anything that mattered.

Existing,

Thrust into the wild,

Destroyed,

Discarded, exiled.

Broken,

Irreparable,

Totally replaceable,

My past deeds incommensurable.

Gone,

Turned to dust,

Disappear,

Let the world readjust.

Stop,

I haven’t enjoyed the ride,

My day has come,

And I am done!

Thank you for reading.
