Trying To Fix My Mistakes
The three Golems stood behind me
As if guarding me
From turning back around.
I wanted to fix
Every mistake
That I had made so far
In my young life.
However, it was
Impossible and perilous,
And I knew it.
I would have done it
Even if my entire life
Would be erased.
I fought the urge everyday
To fight through
The Golems.
And it became too much.
I turned around slowly,
Drawing in my last breath.
I knew that I made
The right decision
Because my dark future
Enveloped me
Before I took a step.
