The Butterfly Effect

I’ve always believed that life was run off balance;
“Give up something and you’ll get something in return”
So I’m off the pursuit of happiness – for now
I’ll stick to more tangible gains.

See, everything I’ve built was done by my own two hands;
Everything I’ve destroyed done by the same
-So yes, I take responsibility, but there are other worlds than these.
Who knows? It may have worked out otherwise.

Standing at the bottom of the hill – Shouting
“Can you hear me?”
It’s a bittersweet tonic of pain and acceptance that I bring.
Drink of this poisoned chalice …
Poison cures Poison.

Lift once broken wings … Not yet time to fly.
Only time will tell when I’ll ascend again.
