Darkness Can Be Overwhelming
Inspired By A Soul Taken From This World Too Soon
The sky tonight is beautiful.. dark and peaceful
It reminds me that even when my days are dark, there's beauty somewhere.
The amount of pain I've endured, it's lethal.
It almost consumed me, but I'm still alive to tell about it.
Is there beauty in that too?
Sometimes I can't find the beauty in anything but the sky .. I don't share that with anyone because it's easier to say I'm fine and tell a lie.
Yesterday I broke down and let myself cry.. I hate feeling weak.
I've always been the one who was strong and didn't let anyone see the scars that were once deep incisions .
So what if I'm not that person? Would it have made a difference?

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.
