shadows

they told us to look within
that we are all wonderful in our own way
or so they say
life just has lots of edges

the more you look inside
the uglier it gets
the deeper you search within
the darker it gets

we all have shadows within us
it scared me
we do have that same endless black
we all do

it suffocates you
but it's not enough to kill you
it strangles you
but you have the strength to fight back

you're stronger than you think
you're not fine
but it's okay to not be okay
it's okay to not be okay

but through it all
when it's getting hard to breathe
when it's getting hard to stand on your own
when it's getting hard to live
you know i'll be there
i'll be there
i'll be there

At 24.

Young adulthood. The stage I'm currently in. The stage you are probably in or have been in. The stage that's filled with exciting milestones. The stage where you're granted unlimited pass to anything and anywhere. It is frightening, yet exciting. It is daunting, yet stimulating. Exciting and stimulating; seems like life's active in motion. Seems like the stage to dash for the things that keep you awake at night. But, that's all fiction. That's all fiction. To me, life is one of a ride. You go up, then you go down. You say hello, then there is goodbye. You strive, then there's stillness. It is against the world. It is against the rules. Being still when everyone's in a hurry. But then, a voice whispered. Be still. Eventually, you will thrive.
