Untitled For Now

A journey
Through the hardships of life.
The struggles,
The darkness within,
The rights,
The wrongs.
To a moment,
A simple moment
Of clarity,
Leading to
Self-discovery.

We each have our own journeys in life: paths we are forced to take, and passageways through which we all struggle. Darkness surrounds us, slowly consuming us, and a darkness within screams out the names of every sin. Every restless night, every tiresome day, every tearful fight, and every word we couldn’t say. The rights and wrongs. The sorrows and heartbreaks. The times we were forced to play along. All of our mistakes. All of them. Everything leads to a moment that changes everything. A moment marking a new chapter in our lives. A moment of clarity, where we finally see the truth, where we finally see ourselves. A moment where we have a decision to make. A moment of choice, leading to self-discovery and marking yet another journey. A new journey, like all our other journeys. Darkness and light. Fight after fight. Nothing is right; nothing is wrong. This was justice all along. A path we must take for our own sake, to finally be able to see. A path for you. A path for me.

It's all clear now - it is my friend who betrayed me and let me down, the only one who turned his back on me.

Kept In Safeguard

Moments of silence prevailed in the hall, during which he turned his gaze around its corners until his eyes fell on the mural behind the main chair.
A woman stood tall, holding a scale in her left hand, and a sharpened sword in her right one. A cloth band is tied tightly behind her head, blinding her eyes.
Justitia, have you blindfolded yourself so that you can only see the truth? Or not to see it at all!
Let me relax the knot of the band a little, let me lift that blindfold from your eyes so that you realize what you did not see before, so let your scale be fair, and let your sword be raised, now I give you my soul.
