bury the hatchet

"The path to peace begins within."

It's now 12:15,

I'm strolling down Bacalso Avenue,

Thinking I should bury the hatchet herein,

Not because I want to,

But because I need to.


...


As I stand in the busy streets of this city,

I see people minding their own business.

Walking as swift as time,

Like there's nothing left.


I watch them, like a ghost in their midst,

A solitary figure lost in thought.

The noise of the city fades into a distant hum,

As I ponder the weight of unresolved issues.


The sun dips below the horizon, 

Casting long vivid shadows,

A metaphor for the darkness that lingers within me.


I close my eyes, 

Feeling the sticky air against my skin.

Imagining warm white sands beneath my feet,

A comforting reminder of simpler times.


Maybe it's time to face the past, 

To confront the demons that haunt me.


To bury the hatchet, 

Not as a symbol of surrender,

But as a declaration of peace within myself.


I take a deep breath, steeling my resolve,

And step forward, into the great unknown.

    To surrender is not to let dreams fall,
    But to yield to the winds that carry them all.
    In quiet strength, we rise from the bend,
    For giving way is how we mend.
