The Return

Written by a human, for humans, always.

This cannot be...

How did this happen?

I thought I had beaten this...

I thought I had won.

This is not the future that I was promised.

I was told...

That once I had succeeded...

That was it.

I could stand on the mountaintop...

And finally...

Finally...

Have peace.

But here we are again...

A feeling only too familiar...

I came crashing down the mountain...

Breaking bones along the way...

Hit...

By hit...

Until I finally landed here at rock bottom...

Face pressed into the fresh and horribly revolting manure.

Why...

Why is my face wet?

I was supposed to be happy...

Blissful...

Overcome with the feeling of fulfillment...

After every single day...

And week...

And year...

That I put into making my way to the top...

That was supposed to be it.

I was supposed to set...

For the rest of my days.

Not this...

Not here...

Not in the abyss of despair...

And pain...

And overwhelming agony.

This is not the future I was told to expect.

They all promised me...

Had me idolizing...

Expecting...

The sweet embrace of achievement...

Of triumph.

I was told that my name would be written...

Remembered...

Solidified in the stonework of time...

For all to see forevermore.

What was it all for?

I put everything...

Everything...

On the line...

I sacrificed...

I gave up...

Everything...

What so many other people have...

I allowed it to slip past me...

Because I knew...

I thought I knew...

That I would get it all at greater levels when I reached the top.

But I was at the top...

I had success...

And it is all gone...

Everything...

I have crashed down...

Fractured...

In failure.
