I forgot how to live,
just for a while.
It was scary to hurt so deeply,
but I think now I am safe.

This is what I have learned,
it is very simple:
Every new experience may not be
Short and sweet.
It can be painful and hopeless.
But that’s how you know you’re living.

I’m grateful to be here,
despite how terrifying this world can be.
Finally, I know
I am not here to survive
But to feel alive

What happens when you no longer feel alive,
do you cease to exist;
or are you looked over, never to be missed.
“Life’s hard” is a burden I don’t wanna carry, I try to open up, just to be buried.

Tell me a lie
Just for a while
It’s nice to pretend
When the world is so scary
Since it’s nice to know
that I’m not the only one
Alone

Heating inside
Is a great warmth
But anger I feel
when it rips right through
my heart

The darkness surrounds
No thoughts like another
My heart standing still
Grounded with no cover
