Fighting To Come Out of the Dark

Are we stuck? or are we hiding?

Sometimes I wonder if I’m the weird one or there are other people like me out there

So I decided to ask

Do you ever want to make friends but you can't because you are scared of being abandoned?

Do you ever want to laugh but you feel you don't deserve to laugh?

Do you ever want to love but you can't because you don't have enough love for yourself?

Do you ever want to sleep but you can't because you keep fighting demons in your dreams?

Do you ever want to pray but you are scared God won't answer you?

Do you ever want to focus but you can't because your head won't stop zoning out and overthinking?

Do you ever want to be happy but you can't because you keep drowning in your sadness?

Do you ever want to move on but you can't because your past keeps pulling your legs?

Do you ever want to change but you are scared of failing so you give up?

There’s a whole lot of hatred and anger built up in you and now yam scared because any activity that seems weird to you triggers you.

We grew from crying and running away from the dark

To running into the dark to cry and seek comfort.

Are we stuck? Or are we hiding?

I think it's time we decide

Do we want to come out of the dark?

Or do we want to pretend that we don't know we are in the dark?

To be honest, I do want to come out.

Please help me.
