didn't feel like you were hovering
above earth
feeling so unlike an ordinary mortal?
didn't you think it was the best thing
ever?
but then you tumbled down
like an elephant atop a tree
as you nurse your hurt feelings,
you wish you'd foreseen the crash
but you know, life has no navigation
Listen, it happened
when you find yourself in a destination
not of your liking
isn't prudent to trace your steps back
brave the underbrush
make a way in unbeaten paths,
brave hunger and thirst
brace yourself to get lost in the
makeshift jungle of regrets
survive internal wars -
monologues,
and finally, a solemn vow to oneself
not to be gullible ever again
listen, it happened,
there is nothing you can do about it
gazing at the ruins
long enough won't rebuild you
stop, the ruins aren't even aesthetic
it happened, brave the simple decision
to walk away from your former self
and be each other's eternal enemies
