Prompt: Rage
They tell you when you are beyond the point of reasoning, and even further beyond the point of reality, you will see the color red. That you will feel the loss of thought leaving your mind. As well as the feel of the wind on your skin as you rush forward without hesitation. Truly akin with a mindless beast than a human at this point.
What they don’t tell you, is that your mind will be trapped in a cage. A cage guarded by Ego and Pride. The loyal guard dogs to Rage. That you will feel a part of yourself become lost into the void of insanity. That you feel like you may never find your way out.
Seconds may turn into minutes and minutes may turn into hours, but eventually Ego will become bored and Pride will become shameful. Then the final emotion, Rage, will slink away. Full of guilt and regret for what they have done. These emotions and feelings never learn, however you can. You can learn to reign in these emotions and use them to become a better person.
You can ground the rage that you have and grow fruits of spite. These fruits, when consumed in the right doses, can help propel anyone through the toughest of times. As much as we need kindness and love in the world, spite too can help push forward the goodness into the world. In a world full of hateful thorns, be the rose that rises to the top of it all in spite of the cruel bards.
This symbiotic relationship with thorns and petals are not harmonious, but beings that coincide with each other to create the rose of the world. Do not become the mindless beast that resides in the Crimson Oasis. Do not become the thorn that looks up at the red rose with envy. Be the petal that absorbs the light goodness of the world and flourish, even when times are tough. Even when the world may seem as if it’s ending. You are not alone, for it takes multiple petals to become a rose. Grow and flourish. Spread your beauty and love to the world, in spite of the thorns that grow around you.
