What is it to drift closer into a reverie, about a life well lived?
The architecture, and the path bound thereto.
A life, yet to be realised. Subordinate only to my family, stands as a primary driver of my fortitude.

Until the soul itself feels like an old garment, thin and threadbare from the simple, brutal weight of existing.

What happens when hardship is the only language life has ever taught you to speak? Perhaps that’s all you’ll ever know. One finds themselves longing for the quiet of the end, just to be exempt from this unending loop. Year on year, one is forced to bear the brunt of this reality
