To Heal or Not to Heal


The only way to dream is to let go.
Allow yourself to fade and to forget.
To sacrifice your mind and what you know.
And sleep away your troubles and regret.
The only way to grow is to move on.
To shed the old, embrace the raw and new.
To sacrifice the darkness for the dawn.
And leave behind familiar things you do.
The only way to heal is to admit
To face your pain and choose to claim your life.
To realize that not all things befit.
And choose to walk away from useless strife.
Although this all sounds marvelous and quaint.
I much prefer Thanatos’s constraint.

  1. It does sound marvelous!
    The final line, though, is the twist? The narrator would rather die than forgive? I had to look up Thanatos. Jeez.

  2. It is my attempt at a twist. The allusion probably isn't the best in that it isn't always clearly recognized.
