you know that dark place?
you never fully leave it.

sometimes you escape,
but then
after all that time and effort
you get lost
and return to it.

you´ve escaped it for days,
weeks,
months.
but then you fall right back.

it hurts the most
when you think you are free,
but then it turns out you´ve walked the wrong path
all along.

so don´t get your hopes up,
but walk that path alone.
because if you walk that path with someone else,
they might lead you to a place that is even darker
than the other one.
Happiness is a permanent destination.
