It must be the highest thrill

  It must be the highest thrill

    
It must be the highest thrill. 
There is an infinity of sadness before you and behind you.
The cruelty and wickedness of people can be endless. 
Unfathomable depths, pressure beyond pressure.

But in the face of that you dare to unmask yourself.
the fear, the anxiety, the crushing weight. The audacity!
All lifted for a moment.
Audacious.
You. Finally.
Audacious.
There will be consequences.
But it was worth it.
…but there will be consequences.






And for the consequences, there with be consequences.
You are better now than you ever were.
