This rose from a battered root that struggled to grow
drenched in its sorrowful rain of depression
with the ambition to sprout & evolve into Life

Misguided by the influences of adversity
designed to hinder the progression
to become great within itself

The water flowing from these clipped pedals
aren’t tears of regret
but a relief from being able to be Free
without the fear of being held down
by self-doubt or the misery of outside bystanders
Mental Health is the wind that I often soar against
with my tears of rain creating great turbulence
desiring shelter in the comfort of friendly arms
only to frequently land on dense structures, being attacked upon arrival
finding refuge in dark spaces where I feel at peace
waiting for the sunshine to arise, where my journey to freedom awaits
What am I?

The Provider of Light, The Provider of Love
The Guidance of the Lost, the Voice of the Silenced
The River of Tears that flows to its own rhythm
The Symphony of a Great Collision that went overlooked
In the search for help, I travel the path that never ends
Where life concludes & only true peace begins
If I told you a flower bloomed in the dark, would you trust it?
Not knowing its background or the contents within
would you still desire to become its friend?
Appealing to the eye but will it appeal to your mind?
Will it blossom after its showered in the rain
or slowly begin to die out overtime?
There’s a mystery beyond its image but are you willing to explore
the roots of its foundation to see where the journey leads
Either you discover a path of something magical
or it leads you down a path of regret & misery
a twist of fate or fairytale ending
It's a bad idea for me to love you especially when your heart is missing

& when I peep the ocean, it's not even worth fishing

I'll love you forever but to me, forever isn't that long

I don't ever wanna be right if loving you is wrong

I feel it when you smile but it's a pain to see you cry

& as much as I desire that role, I know I'll never be that guy
yesterday, i cried from pain
yesterday, i wanted to quit
yesterday, i was broken
yesterday, i departed from sadness

today, i am free
today, i start over
today, i shall fly
today, i shall smile

tomorrow, i vow to be greater
tomorrow, i wish to be stronger
tomorrow, i strive for greatness
tomorrow, i learn from the mistakes of yesterday
A day of happiness mixed with tears
glad to see it but never do we toast cheers
either attached to the past or to be forgotten
along with the emptiness left in its existence

First time to discover a new love or the last day of an old habit
the soundtrack of tears or an endless memory of joy
As we continue our journey, we're left with 2 life-changing choices
carry on the baggage from the trauma of the past or let go to capture
the happiness of tomorrow
