➥🥀||Under Construction||🥀
••••

Constantly under construction, to create a new me,
Who, alone knows the struggles and troubles I see.

I'm a puzzle, that's tussled, disassembled,
Waiting to be found, shuffled back,
reassembled.

Piece by piece, I pick my lost shards,
That were shattered like house of cards.

I strive to inhale every cent of my present.
Exhale my past, it was never meant to last.

Everyday in every way, I slowly construct, build,
A better me, a wild child, born strong-willed.

➥Construct

A pint of remorse, a dash of fears,
Drizzled with compassion, topped with a sprinkle of tears .
Five pounds of love, warmth and a pinch of shame,
Marinated with depression and an ounce of pain.
Combine heartbreak until dough becomes tight,
Leave it in the freezer, hearts become cold overnight.
Add to pan greased with stress, bake for 30 minutes at 207 degrees,
As this will allow one to wipe their own tears, once on their knees.
Construct a buffet and allow it to cool,
As this cookbook isn't in the library at your school.

➥Curiosity's Dark Construct

Behold, dear reader, Pandora's Box,

A warning of the peril of locks,

For curiosity, a construct of man,

Is a fickle friend, a two-edged brand.

With prying eyes and eager heart,

I dared to open, my fate to chart,

And found within, a wretched curse,

A darkness that no light can reverse.

For knowledge gained, I paid a toll,

A soul corrupted, a spirit whole,

Now I wander, lost and damned,

A victim of my own construct, my own demand.
