Celeste Sacrificed Self

-

The illusion of being deliberate and in control
In disregard of difficult and painful feelings
This habitual self-harm is difficult to stop
I'm overdosed on power and challenge

I am comforted by the covering of evidence
I am the one that got away
The one that sneaked under your radar
And whilst you do not know me
I am powerful
I shine through my self-inflicted damage

Through the cuts and compulsion
The burning and infliction
The scratching and wrenching
I see myself within those that I kill
They did not see themselves in my ascension

And when the act is completed there is a momentary stillness
A silenced and protected space
A place for me
This, in my sense of achievement
My rebirth is in the possibility of next

  Story: As the sun set and the world became soaked in a blend of golden and red hues, a dog sat and waited silently for his Leader, reflecting on past battles against foes and mighty wins. The world moved dizzily as noble battles fought in the hidden corners of his soul: despair, hope, and the relentless pursuit of truth. With knowing eyes, the loyal dog stood on guard in an unspoken pact of guardianship and love — a sacred ritual in refusing to admit farewell.  As darkness fell, the dog stood against the backdrop of an ever-changing world. He stood in dignity, a silent sentinel, a guardian of a bygone era etched into his eyes.

Choices and Daily Rituals

  Video: Choices and Daily Rituals Story: I see them daily, following the same routine, saying the same things, and living the same day repeatedly. They take identical pictures and check their reflections on every surface. The world is vast, full of opportunities and choices, but they, like me, wear dark glasses as they go through life. I wish I could shake myself and realise the chances I'm missing, but I'm in a trance, convinced that this narrow path is all there is. Existence keeps moving on, and it pains me that I can't see past the capital waste. We could achieve so much if we didn't sit on the fence and merely comment on each other. But here I am, watching this play with the spectators, where the power to change the script is on the tip of our tongues, yet we decide not to say it. Description: Dive into the profound narrative of life in repetition, where each day mirrors the last. This exploration goes beyond the surface, questioning the comfort of routine and the
