The Endless CycleA Poem by Sachi Ruaya All humans repeat the same cycle... The Endless Cycle © 2017 SachikoMochiko Every
mistake, loss, failure or breakdown…it’s your choice whether or not to suffer
from it. “I am a human. Just like you and
me. I’m young, 13 years of age, but I already feel old. I have learnt that,
whatever situation you are in now, it’s temporary. So, enjoy or endure it to
the fullest! Whether is another human, your
passion or yourself, you fall for it.
This poem I wrote is inspired by both my life and my fellow friends who
write with me, sharing their stories. There are many different ways to view
this poem. I spent many hours choosing how to structure this and the word
choice. I wanted to share this to people who can relate and inspire other
writers.” I’m
absolutely sick of falling Falling
in love and making the same mistake Eaten by jealousy Thinking that it would work Even
when that person who I sought, Catches another Thinking
that they want you Even
if the kindness
expressed is just… Them. Whenever
I fall, And
no one sought me I
fall into a deep, cold abyss Isolating
both heart and body From
this rotting world Suffocating me and myself From
thinking that I will fall again But
again, I find peace at
the bottom… Sitting
just above the bedrock of grief Where
your screams of heart break Is
muted by the sea of tears But I hunger to fall To seek for another cradle of arms After
craving for so long I
trick myself That
my heart has moved on To
someone for me But
deep, deep down… I
know it is just a mask A
mask to cover the disheartening pain And
to keep me sane As
I walk amongst the beings It’s
an endless cycle… A
cycle that is deemed to run my world My kingdom, My psyche, My crust, Like
a wheel with a tempting needle Waiting
to cast me to sleep As
it wheels me away to again start the cycle Even
if my consciousness is aware I
shrug it off thinking I’m happily a rolling
pebble A rolling
pebble that has been dropped Dropped
into a saltwater sea of fish Where plenty of fish swim to escape Escape
the rotting world above I’m
a pebble after all I
was meant to sink to the bottom Or be
split in half by the fish But
as the hundreds and thousands of centuries Wear
me down My
calloused, guarded heart cracks open As
the pressure of the rotting
earth I.
Become. The. Diamond. It
was not long after, I
was extracted from the bedrock of grief HEATED… POLISHED… Until
the skin of this pebble Peels
like those onion that brought tears to my eyes Someone
has found the brightest
part of me Someone
has found my beauty Someone
has also fallen…like me In
a mere emotion with two sides Love & Hate Well,
congratulations that someone Because
you have found a rare one Only
one here on this earth My
mere gratitude cannot express… Express
how undeniably grateful I am === The
two of us creates another; “I’m absolutely sick of
falling”, she said…
