CHAPTER 7: A MEETING WITH THE DEVIL
I’m not going to run anymore; you and I have had this dance for a long time. I have always come to the dancefloor to meet with you as you have always appeared in your most deceptive attire. Looking like dark chocolate, strong love with millions of promise to make me happy, I believed and like a fool, I followed you even though you made me walk with a blindfold on. You would carry me across muddy waters, little did I know you were the one who created the dirt and used my tears to create the very mud you carry me over. You would catch me when I fell from the highest mountain, and I pledge to you loyalty, unaware that it was you who pushed me in the first place. But that’s not the worst of it, I followed the path you laid out for me, when you described yourself as wisdom, only to discover after I found my stuck at the crossroad. Yeah, we gonna dance today, but this time, I will take the lead, I will spread my wings and soar across the very waters and cry out tears of true wisdom that my bloodline can drink from and gain strength from. I will climb up the highest mountain and leave behind a trail of breadcrumbs for my bloodline to follow that they may never lose their way and that they too will be able to see you coming. Get ready and listen closely as I change the tune. You won’t
be able to replicate my notes or unlock the safe that I hid the keys to wisdom to. I don’t expect a sorry from you, for you are incapable of saying sorry. But for the sake of shits and giggles I take away your power by forgiving myself for trusting you, for engaging in your shenanigans. I set myself free and I will no longer look back at the mistakes I made by dancing with you. You got no power over here, it’s over, I have unplugged, swallowed the red pill of truth, and I can no longer see or hear you. You are officially dismissed
