MOURNING IN RED

Just when you thought everything was sailing smoothly, 
waves knock against you and the wind decides to change its course.
Just when you let your guard down, 
life starts throwing you curve balls.
Just when you thought you’re a step, 
just a step closer to fulfilling your dreams, 
shit happens.
Just when you thought, 
you got this, 
nothing will ever go wrong,
 everything starts to fall apart and spiral out of control.
What’s left to grasp?
Falling in to a pit so deep, 
consumed by darkness.
What’s the point of mourning?
The deceased is more alive than the living.
A cover that can barely cover the book, 
clips that can barely contain the pages, 
pages different sizes all wanting to be noticed, 
screaming for help.
Bursting
out
of
control.
Mourn in red. 
You’re finally free.
Just when I thought we could be together for an eternity, 
you left.
Just when I thought I will be fine, 
I realised I have already lost myself.
Who am I?
Mourning in Red was based on the movies Requiem for a Dream (2000) and Vertigo (1958). Life is never short of struggles. How many times do we have to screw up to get to where we want to be? The struggle is real, it’s painful. But when the cure of the pain is the cause. 
There’s no turning back.
Ordinary lives never ordinary again.
