The charlatan - the archetype of the Shadow

January 29th. The morning is grey, the color of an unuttered sorrow, and the light enters the room timidly, as if afraid to disturb the silence of my shipwreck. Here, in this empty space between a "before" and an uncertain "now," I attempt to arrange the debris of myself. When a person is deceived, they do not merely lose means; they lose the very architecture of their trust. The world, until then predictable and welcoming, suddenly shatters into jagged pieces that cut deep into the softest parts of the soul. The money... it was never just numbers. It was preserved time. It was hours of fatigue, of absence from my own life, of small deprivations that accumulated like grains of sand in the hourglass of my security. Every coin was a fragment of my effort, of my sleep, of my hope for a future where I would not be vulnerable. And when someone takes them with the ease of a charlatan, they do not steal currency—they steal a piece of my past and a vast portion of my peace...

But is there anyone to hear?

 

Little one, it follows its inner guide,
But what fate awaits it, what will betide?
Self-destruction... a sorrowful theme,
Yet nature rebalances, it may seem.
For her, no sadness, no right or wrong,
She acts by her principles, steadfast and strong.
If only we sensed them within our core,
We wouldn't unleash what we deplore.
Humanity, with its flawed understanding,
Afflicts the planet, it's alarming.
We kill ourselves, pollute our source,
Yet nature simply reflects our course.
Will we heed the symptoms she displays?
Realize our interconnected ways?
Recognize the need for responsibility,
For everything is like the body's ability.
The physical body, it has its bound,
After showing symptoms, all around,
If not treated, problems persist,
And like the body, it ceases to exist.
So too with Earth, the signs are clear,
But is there anyone to hear?
