Growing up

Copyright- Pokemon or its characters do not belong to me

For so many years I had dreamed of

them. Waited for the day I could

make my own destiny. Naive and young

I believed it would make me complete.

The day I became a trainer.

Blindly unaware that dream was

unravelling I continued. During the gruelling

opening days we fought enemies within and

without the land. Corners were rubbed till we

became a perfect circle.

He trusted everything in me, with

every glance, every touch he showed his love.

I thought it was enough. The circle was corrupted

from within. As time wore on, only the barest

thread of my dream remained.

Monotony set in. And with it the

harsh truth of reality. He was not enough.

It was not my journey to take. Tears fell as

the circle collapsed within itself. The last

thread slipped out of place. I began my life anew.
