He prided himself on being a cynic
He had completely given up
on empathy

Pretty fast
Good intentions
He had good intentions
Listened a little bit
But then said an awful lot
A lot of ´you need to´
follow by ´right?´
every other sentence
Giving her the feeling
that she
was slightly stupid
and he
a lot smarter than her
A flat yeah
His
‘Yeah’
Was not going anywhere
Coming from anywhere
Wanting anything
or being interested in any way
It was just a flat and empty
‘Yeah’
With no purpose whatsoever

Not a good egg
Saving
He wanted to save everyone else
When the one who most needed saving
was himself

The old man’s law
Never admit anything – ever
Never show vulnerability – ever
Be right and principled – always
And if something goes wrong – it is always
always
others´
and the world´s fault

Best at being the worst
Everyone wanted to win
And if they couldn’t win
they wanted to be the best
at being the worst

The new beginning was a longer process
The new beginning was a longer process
of letting the old go
Getting to know
learn
and familiarise with the new
A scary
challenging
and game changing process
But still a process of the new
Of new beginnings
Of spring from within
It didnt happen over night
or week
or month
It happened over year
and sometimes over years
Can´t avoid darkness
You can travel
but you can´t run away from you
You can lie
but you can´t avoid your truth
You can chase the light
but you can´t avoid darkness
