life is beautiful
but it is also sad
of all the good things
there is also the bad
and it feels as though the bad is always embracing the good
that there is more bad than there is good in this world
and when the mind is overloaded with the negative
sometimes the drowning can't be stopped
the world starts to understand
that the happiest people may just be the saddest
and it fills me with grief
as it is anything but untrue
true to the point it hurts me
my secret was being revealed
it strips me off my feigned confidence
and leaves me with an empty shell
empty of love
of all the good things in life
i am sad for myself
who have turned out this way
and in the end i only have myself to hold
but i do not like me
not now
not ever
so tell me
how shall i live?
— Y.H.
my own personal epiphany,
gentle fervor.

gentle fervor.
i'm asking
how do i appreciate the good
if the bad never goes away
it is my mind that i have no control over
it is just me all along
