Meltdown

Folder: 
A Beautiful Life

My childhood innocence stands before me,
Looking taller and stronger than I remember.
Was I like that before years ago?
I can't remember a single thing after I grew older.

Anger rises within me,
Striking the realization at my heart
That I can never again go to who I was.
I can never be innocent again...

Now that I'm almost an adult,
I've nothing left but regrets and depression.
And she just stands in front of me,
Being the opposite of what I am now.

My instincts tell me that I should kill her.
Kill her and live life without being ashamed.
Ashamed of losing my innocence so soon.
Soon after I've done many regretful things.

I wanted to toss her into a nuclear reactor
And watch her have a complete meltdown.
Maybe her remains will be going inside another child,
Letting them have my innocence instead of wasting it.

I don't know if God will forgive my past sins or not.
But I don't want to lose what I had that got me here.
Letting her die will make all my efforts meaningless.
I want to keep the things that make my life meaningful to live.

My urges of choking my innocence in revenge disappeared,
Like a nuclear reactor had a meltdown.
When I walk into the light of redemption,
Everyone will wake up to see the beautiful morning.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

12/7/12
So I wrote this on the second day at my new school in my new Creative Writing class. I wrote this out of depression and anger of how I'm living a life full of regrets and sin and I just want to be innocent again. I'm angry at myself for losing it so soon and I can't get it back since I've caused so much sin for myself and others. Now, I just want to redeem myself and move on without clinging so much onto my regrets and sin. I just want to be happy with what I have left and live for them.
