WARNING! WARNING! Be advised: the material ahead is not suitable for the faint of heart The following is based on a true story for millions of people --- I. Warrior stands taking in the sights of projects unfinished; safe in their room, there is no need to worry - surrounded by peers — talking, laughing, functioning in a timely manner — Responsibilities and obligations come and go, "But there will always be peace of mind" --- II. Warrior stands finally seeing through a mature lens — “it’s not your fault” -- the memories that should have never been formed “Danger! Brain authorization confirmed; self-destruction sequence to commence” --------- III. Warrior stands a shell of a functioning person they are inside, a brain wreaks havoc as if controlled by a separate, malicious entity “Warrior is not real. Warrior must die.” --- IV. Warrior stands vision … cloudy. Everything goes black. Thinking; breathing rapid... "Heart racing... my HEART… IS RACING!" “Something is wrong!” Sh-sh-sh-shaking. World... sp-spinning... “There’s got to be something wrong with you, Why do you even try?” ------- V. Warrior stands while subconscious klaxons fire -- “Danger! Danger!” -- the mind scrambles to find the problem “Urgent! Cliff ahead! Urgent!” Eyes scan to see normalcy, before falling… falling… falling… into an obsessive downward spiral “Danger! Danger! Crash imminent!” “Prepare for emergency landing!” ------------- VI. Warrior stands ...barely; slouched, eyes glazed, exhausted from the push and pull of unconsciously regulating every. single. thought. with equal severity and truth ------- VII. Riddled with scars from a battle unseen, Warrior with-stands because others didn’t forget: our crying is not weakness -- WE pick others up; WE forgive WE encourage WE validate-- so that other warriors may stand too - and we will stand together as Warriors, we stand
