I’m trying so hard to fight it. Fight off the darkness I’ve battled with all my life. The loneliness I was born in to, and the sadness I have become accustomed to. I’m trying so hard to fight it. I’ve gotten to such a good place in my life and now I’m struggling to move forward. The past is calling to me, telling me to come back. The future whispers in my ear delightful promises that seem so unobtainable. I’m trying so hard to fight it. The battle within me. The battle my mind is fighting against my heart. My emotions driving, logic and reasoning sitting in the passenger seat. How did I start to spin out of control yet again? It’s hard to move forward when you were born into rejection. See once you’re rejected once, you fear it the rest of your life. It’s crippling, it keeps you from chasing your dreams and taking risks. I’ve done such a good job of pushing myself to do both those things. Speaking my mind freely and doing as I please. But the darkness is back, it seems to be erasing all my years of hard work.
