Once upon a thought
energy reverberated
rocked my whole being
Once upon a falsehood
promises flashed
hurt like a knife in the back
Once upon a dilemma
I felt broken in pieces
not fitting together
Once upon a truth
I stood defeated
feeling whole once again

I liked the last stanza with truth, defeat and whole once again.

the end is powerful as the start of the poem Reena, the in between stanzas are the working it out phase.

I read it all over again, after reading your comment, and realized it can be cyclic. But certain stages can be skipped with greater commitment and clarity of thought. Thank you so much!

Good response to the prompt! I’m reminded of the adage that it takes but a moment to break trust, but it takes years to build it.
