failure.

acids claiming the disgusting visitors,

youre unwelcome!

the creature churns.

bubbling through its unnecessary work,

causing the usual associated pain.

where has normal gone?

where has health gone?

why, dear,

i believe it disappeared,

with extraordinary goals.

shes fragile, you know.

stained her eyes,

green with envy,

glaring at her chosen prey.

silent, unspoken promises made,

all odds against the journey,

so many doubts, too many doubts.

where has the mind gone?

the body started feed on it,

memories, reminders, thoughts, disappearing

like her broken heart.

growth spurt.

standing tall, towering,
helpful friends beneath her feet,
long everything stretching,
gazes floating, flittering.

jealousy stirs,
an idea forms,
craving emptiness,
finding success,
she wants to fall,
lower, lower, lowest,
into the depths of thismonster-filled pit,
they eat her insides,
and lower she falls.

self-contained striving,
stifled secrets,
severely shaken,
somewhat ashamed.

she feels around,
empty holes, hard branches,
barely beating heart,
and brittle existence.

the further she falls,
the more she's won,
and the more she has lost,
the more success she feels.

green makes dragons appear.

puffs fly,
fire breathing dragon,
roaring and screaming,
mighty growls,
pain and distrust,
eyes stained red,
droplets,
branches peak to attack.
