A Force of Its Own

Does it make you happy? Or perhaps it excites you? To want the unavailable and to love the un- lovable. To feel the way you feel for those that feel nothing for you. You’re such a foolish child, you should know better. Who raised you? Who taught you such ways? What is it that lures you in, that makes you crave the uncravable? What scent do they give off that keeps making you want them? You should know better. Lord knows you deserve better. Open up your heart to something bigger than yourself. Open your mind to a world unseen. Leave it all behind and reinvent yourself. Those scars you keep poking at won’t heal unless you let them. The pain will never subside if you keep reliving the horror. Hush child, don’t try to justify your actions. Is a few minutes of happiness worth a lifetime of hurt? Is one moment worth a thousand scars? Leave those foolish ways behind. She sat there wondering if one moment could have changed everything. If things would have been different. She wondered, if it were all different.. Would she be able to love right? Would she be able to see the good in people? To see the good in herself? Scars and hurt caused by an unknown being she’d never crossed paths with. An unknown being that changed her past, her present and future. An unknown being that prevented her from loving, from feeling.. From seeing what’s right in front of her. They say people come and go and leave you in all sorts of ways. Some change you for the better and others for the worst. But what about those that were never there and yet still somehow they managed to make an impact on your life? An impact that could be easily be rectified had the earth’s forces been kind to this foolish child. Can the unknown being be held accountable for the actions of the girl who’s path he never crossed?
