Dear Me!

How did I arrive at such a spacious abyss
Where conflicts are resolved with a tone
And peace is always a tool on the tongue
Would it have mattered if I say I am to blame

Should it be I am to blame would it have made a difference
Would it have been fault to the ears? Listen
Life says she's mysterious and hear hear
You who chose life chose destruction I hear

Had I not heard that life meant destruction
That living on its own is a heavy load taken
Could it be that we all got it wrong? I say
Take the load and not be swayed by its nature

For the fault of men lies not by their texture
And the doom of life is but a warfield abyss
That devour men and all in contact
Yet we all fell at the mercy of its masterpiece

This poem makes me think about life as something heavy and mysterious. The idea of taking responsibility without being swayed by others' views is so freeing. It's like facing the abyss head-on, which might be terrifying but also full of potential. I guess we all have our own ways of dealing with conflict and peace. Taking the load isn't easy, but it feels empowering to own it instead of letting fear hold us back.
