In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Victory.”
There are a lot of Victories in our personal lives, in lives of our families, friends and pets.
Years back I kept some rare bugs and though this should be a post about my Victory, for me and most important for these bugs it was always a Victory when they could successfully slough off their skin. It is very important for them, to may grow and developing, same as the snakes. Maybe you will say “it is only an ugly bug – a monster”.
Well, people they keep bugs as pets and especially rare ones can understand it. I saw few of them when they couldn’t hang properly on the branch or cage and they couldn’t slough off their skin. They suffered and died. Or they could slough off their skin but not properly and lost a leg.
I am a nature lover and for me it was always a Victory when these bugs could “change their coat” properly and it didn’t change their attitude.
Can we humans follow them?

Writing 201: Poetry, Day Three – Skin
Thanks for the next great word prompt and also for the opportunity to use Prose Poetry and Internal Rhyme.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The road was almost empty, the heavy rain decided not to stop. If I should be twenty again, I would never allow that terrible slap of life. I wanted to prove I am fast enough and I can manage the speed. It was just a second and everything turned to black. I still can’t remember anything just the great heat and it felt like my body would get melt into the seat. Though I “escaped” from the dark hands of death, I know what I did. It will be always visible – the price of that sin…
Anytime I will stay infront the mirror, anytime I will touch my skin.
