construct/destruct

it began with that extra step forward i took
long before, i thought it was impossible
though i've always wanted to end on such incidents
then it grew large inside this small box
and what was led by one thing led into another
like a quotidian fever, it kept on coming
scenario by scenario, i managed to seize everything and everyone..in my hands..firm..

then it all broke
the shattering pieces can be heard from where i stood
the pain was silent but consumed more than i could
now i scare myself to death
fearing my own threat
fearing myself to destruct

it seems like i deserve everything from start until the end
i craved for it and worked hard to stand where i am now
but what it took me years to dream and build just collapsed in a gesture of my own hands
it was so fine, though imperfect
with this power that i hold, i conquered
then it all broke

i was once told that every power comes with a price
that sometimes it may not look like a power at all
on the contrary, a curse..
