Today's Special - A Table of Cruelty and Arrogance

As some of us have figured out in life we are born into a world of cruelty.

We are delivered into a system of arrogance built on deep-rooted traditions and indoctrinations.

For me, my world revolved around turmoil and self-loathing.

I based my soulless actions on nothing of true depth or value, I existed in a state of contempt.

This table represents the failings of half a century of life whereas my existence ranked its worth.

I remember the day of the purchase, I delighted at the thought of my unique find.

Pompously for years, I dragged the chains of my ignorance unknowingly.

Like the table, my soul was in a tomb surrounded by a clear coat of acrylic.

Herein lies one link of the chain that bound my empty existence.

Sadly I can never erase these actions, I can never change what was done and valued.

I can only keep moving.

At this stage, I proceed with a full understanding of my past failings.

Gently moving forward lightening my load in hopes of cleansing my existence.
