Sometimes I liked to shut my mind out
From the ever-flowing thoughts trying to grasp into it
But it's as if the more that I tried,
The harder my thoughts pushed their way in
Until I finally collapsed in defeat, and allowed those thoughts to overpower me

I lied awake night after night, trying to lullaby myself asleep
With the sweet nothings of my own comfort
But no matter how hard I tried
The thoughts always pushed their way back in like dark knights on black horses
Living with the burden of hurting another person was more than I could bare
More than I can bare

But I'm learning that there is no happiness more important than your own.
So I try-
Try to live in the moment, and do what will benefit my personal happiness.
Learning my morals day after day, and learning from lessons that I have learned in the past
Because what is really to come from dwelling?
Life only moves forward, and so with that, so do I.
To one day become the person that I aspire to be.
