In between the lines
That is where you should read
Because it is in those spare spaces
Where you create your own meaning

You cannot hide from what is to come
Whether you know it's coming or not

But to know not of what is to come
Is a true blessing,
As knowing your fate
Leaves only space to wait

And waiting, is not living
But rather an inescapable torture

You cannot hide from the inevitable.

From a young age
I have been advised to recognize my 
Feelings
To know why I feel
To know what I feel

And I am grateful for this advice
Because through awareness I have found control

But now I'm too aware of how I feel
                                             To let you know

Tell me how your storm goes.
Have you ever suffered?
If so have you gotten better?
Or haven't you recovered.

Sometimes it's like I'm suffocating
Sometimes it's like I'm falling
Sometimes it's like I'm trapped in darkness with my head under water, drowning

But mostly it's like I'm flying so I'm okay with it

Light,
    that is what I will be from now on
I will tread lightly on your soul,
    to avoid leaving footprints on your heart

and you will thank me later

In between the lines
That is where you should read
Because it is in those spare spaces
Where you create your own meaning
