If You Push Yourself

You can do a lot with yourself, even if you may not believe it.

I’m pushing myself to go out and do something with my life.

And while I am,

I feel like I’m still failing miserably.

I can’t summon up the motivation to actually put my plans in motion.

I still feel this empty sadness in the pit of my rib-cage.

And what for?

What will this simplistic life bring me?

I don’t know and I think that’s what terrifies me the most.

No one can sit across from you and tell you exactly how your life will go.

You can’t even lay down a road and follow it exactly.

It’s hard to grow up and realize not everything is rainbows and butterflies.

You feel distress, weakness, and hatred.

It’s hard to let go of these emotions.

But I’m trying my hardest to stay afloat.

I don’t want to give in and sink to the depths of despair.
