So, here's the thing.
I think I forgot how it feels to be alive.
I know what you're thinking
how could you ever forget something
so simple, so mindless, so ******* beautiful
such as the life that chose to be lived by you?
It's complicated, exhausting, and honest-to-god terrifying.
I've never been more afraid to be afraid
But I'd be lying to you if I said
I would ever give up trying.
I'm slowly learning not to sink
through loving, learning, heart-beating.
I'm remembering the concept you could not grasp
Happiness is nothing but a feeling.
Hello, fellow poets out there! I was inspired to respond to a comment I got some time ago. I wanted to express how important it is to express how you feel, no matter the emotion or how you fear others may respond... Happiness cannot happen without sadness, and I stand before you today completely unapologetic.
