Is This Progress.

Despite all the negativity

floating in the abyss,

despite the darkness

clouding the path,

I'm hopeful I'll find

my way in the dark.

Is this progress?

I've been under

a lot of stress,

more than one girl

should have to bear,

the anchors pull me under

but I still swim to the top,

I won't stop.

Is this progress?

I write my sad poems

when I become so overwhelmed,

I still cry and feel like dying

from time to time,

but after it's all over

I remind myself,

words have no power

unless I give them meaning.

The hateful thoughts

are my enemies

and they're not worth

my time of day,

so next time they come my way,

I won't give them a second glance

I won't let them get the chance.

Is this progress

or just another false hope?

Please don't let it be

a fallacy,

someone tell me,

am I making progress?
