Manic Promises

Being in a crisis isn’t what hurts. Once the crisis recedes- The mistakes I forgot in the process will wash up. I realize that I am only creating promises that everyone sees as burdens. I make the kind of sacrifices that everyone else only imagines they could make- For no reason except to prove that I am the chosen one. All I have done is scare people- Because I allow passion to become chaos. Trying to throw this world off balance. As if that alone is enough- But this world teeters on quiet destruction. That a person like me is only meant to observe.
