Lay alone in the dark. Eyes closed staring at the ceiling. My heart sinks inside my chest. Thoughts spiraling out of control. "Why am I here?" "How long do I have left?" It makes me feel so empty. How most of my life is wasted. Tossed aside by unnecessary things. I don't want to be tied down. By the miserable pleaurlties of my mother before me. Explore, live in happiness, achieve my dreams. That is the life I want to live. It seems so unnatainable. Out of reach. I hide in the darkness for now. In my own treacherous meloncholy. Until that one day illuminates me.

Lay alone in the dark. Eyes closed staring at the ceiling. My heart sinks inside my chest. Thoughts spiraling out of control. "Why am I here?" "How long do I have left?" It makes me feel so empty. How most of my life is wasted. Tossed aside by unnecessary things. I don't want to be tied down. By the miserable pleaurlties of my mother before me. Explore, live in happiness, achieve my dreams. That is the life I want to live. It seems so unnatainable. Out of reach. I hide in the darkness for now. In my own treacherous meloncholy. Until that one day illuminates me.
