"Trying‥ again?"
His whisper chimed in my head, that familiar voice reminding me yet again what happened last time.
"Stop‥ dreaming so big."
How often he'd sap my fire just as soon as it had emblazoned, leaving me again in the cold.
"Never‥ gonna happen"
Relentlessly his words would echo within my mind, opening old wounds and leaving them to fester.
Doubt had me running backwards, no longer would I listen. In spite of his whispers and screams, I'd turn around and return his words in reverse.
Never stop trying!
