Greener

She knows she is the worst human being in the world. She knows of the power she as given, and she knows of the grievous abuse she just caused. She knows what she’s done. She knows the damage. She knows the consequences. She knows everything, but still, does that stop her?

It doesn’t.

Nothing would, nor nothing could.

Sometimes, that’s just the way these things pan out. Sometimes, you just can’t help these things. This time however, she could help. But she didn’t bother to stop it, to prevent it. Of course she didn’t. She had the power to fix it all, and instead she chose destruction. Who wouldn’t choose destruction? You know, the whole ‘grass is green on the other side’ theory. Well, most of the time it isn’t. She knows this, and fully accepts this.

But she’s glad.

She deserves the misery, the guilt. She did the unspeakable, and she didn’t stop herself.

All in all, she knows. The grass is never greener on the other side. It’s itchy, it’s brown and dying. But new life waits underneath. Green growth shoots upward, and eventually, the grass is greener. Just as long as you can stick with it.

Isn’t that what life is about?
