Dear friend,
do not feel like a failure.
I know you tried your best.
Like your predecessors,
your destiny was to uphold
all burdens placed upon you,
to remain steadfast
and constant.
But you created your own destiny.
You were the spark
that changed the world

a world
two worlds

If the web of uncertainty
had caught me
and its creator
sucked away all inspiration
before I even began,
if the web had caught me-
going up or coming down-
no one would have known you.

Though you are broken,
reach up;
Your inspiration
has brought me to heights
never ventured before-
And there are no spiders here.
