Misery Loves Company

This carefully constructed house of cards is collapsing. This life is caving in on itself. There's nowhere to hide anymore. The pain peels the flesh from me and leaves me exposed to the elements.

I stand arms wide, sun beating down with tears pouring from my eyes. Let the darkness steal all my joy and let me remain behind with only my sorrow to sustain me.

There are no trees, no clouds, no rain, no relief. Just the miserably hot sun beating down and intensifying the ugly, bitter truth. My wounds along with the wounds I've inflicted. All of it stripped bare and laying stark naked before me.

We're all bleeding now. We're all full of hate and fear and ugliness. Our selfishness came in and made a feast of everything good and left only a carcass where there was once a healthy, happy home.
