Prompt- Day 5 : Freedom tastes like chocolate 😁😁😁

Somewhere between trying to do it all and have it all, I decided I’d had quite enough of it all.

So, I took a break…and had a KitKat!

Supposed to be supporter, 
a fixer supreme. 
a cajoler of counsel.
The consummate consoler.
My coiffed contract conspires
to create the perfect tableau
In truth my attempts were admirable.
if my  ability, at times, was off.
But with the clock always ticking 
I was forced to take stock.
Looking deep within 
I sensed my soul deceasing.
Freedom tastes like chocolate
when in a cell eating crackers.
Soured by martyrdom stigma, 
I faked fortitude for too long,
Finally fed up of feeling frenzied
I gave SuperWoman back her cape.

Mother. 

Wife. 

Professional. 

Chief fixer of absolutely everything.

The cape was getting heavy.

The job description  was getting ridiculous, and frankly, chocolate was calling.

So, I handed in my Superhero resignation and I enjoyed the taste of it.

Prompt - Fight to Survive

What if love finds it way in through everything they used to keep it out ?

Against the evidence of years,
our flame ignited,
stripping away our darkness,
Doubt lingered for many.
Distrust, 
the intransigent guest,
always present,
perfectly poised to disprove,
dispel our fertile attempts,
as we flew under a cloak of unchaos.
Choosing trickery,
they tantalised with facts before our eyes.
Now unblinkered,
unwilling to accept as before, 
unbelieving of forefathers,
we ventured on.
Vials of hope held aloft.
Their vile tales of the vanquished,
forever bereft of love,
left many displaced.
We persevered.
Our fight to survive, 
determined to detach their tentacles trapping many.
Meekly,
we searched for hearts,
hoping for chinks in their armour.
That’s how our love got in.

Some walls are built long before we arrive from stories inherited, believed, or those taken as truths that were never questioned.

Somewhere between what we were taught to distrust and what our hearts dare to recognise, sometimes love finds its way through.

Perhaps love needs not the absence of resistance, but merely the courage to remain open in the face of it.
