Scatterbrainy

Strength- what is it?
Endurance? Sacrifice? Persistance?
Is it pride, with a twist of suffering inside?

Endings are inherently tragic, but what's worse is when they linger.
In small towns, there's no mercy. no way of avoiding.
Suddenly you stand face to face with your personal illusion
your ghost, your disease.
But what else is there to do?

Take a deep breath, ignore the opening abyss in your stomach and look the other way.
Keep on walking.
