I walked in straight lines.

My feet carefully marking the street pavements.

I then walked in diagonals

Carefully marking the blocks with my sole.

I walked with my face down

Painfully acknowledging the pain and shame within.

I walked with these demons,

And they feasted on my failure.

It was at this point that I knew.

I knew I deserved it all.

I walked in solitude. I walked in pain.
