This Stuff is Red
by
Justin A. Barron
Fear, pain, anguish, and vice. Poison to the mind. This stuff is more real than life itself, and life is pretty freakin' real. It's hard, cruel, and cold. Dark in the most impossible ways imaginable. It's a joke, just laughing at us. We, who had our eyes closed to all the world around us. Thinking how sweet it is, how lovely it feels.
They say it's safe, that it's okay to venture out. But they'll never mention the thorns or the venom that's all around it. How quickly it can corrupt, kill, or capture. How quickly it can hurt not only you but others around you. That once the damage is done, that's it. You can't take it back, no matter how hard you try. You can only make amends and learn from it, to prevent it from happening again.
Life's many lessons is not learned in one day alone but throughout all our days. We never learn them all either. We can always improve ourselves, should we choose to learn from them, to hear and understand. Are we will to do is the question.
So what lessons have you learned? And what lessons have you yet to learn? Always remember, this stuff is real.
