An improbable role

I guess my mind is forsaken

Mental health is joke

But Dont be mistaken

People struggle with thoughts

But Weve turned it into a weapon

We fumble on words and the world judges us

A formal display that just tears us up

A societal fridge that freezes us up

But What is normal is this thing we call life?

That very question implys there's a standard to living

But Normals not real.

Its just what society makes it.

A general consensus does not make something real

Take the nazis, the mongols, the taliban and tell me their ideals speak true.

Society sets a standard

We dont have to apply

**** it ill just be me in this thing we call life

The world has come hard at me, but im like the sun.

This light will shine

The shadows cast are all behind me now

Moving towards what illuminates

I'll never be consumed by the dark abyss

I'm heading towards what's bright

This light

No matter how dark it gets

I'm like sysaphis. I'll just keep moving to the top of the hill

No matter what happens, I will break my curse

I might be broken within my brain

But that makes sense because Im Chasing what's insane

That's where I find what's improbable

The impossible coming to light

I'm building my soul.  

Every part is a missing piece.

Slowly building until I reach my peace.

In the shadows of my mind, where darkness erupts,
Intrusive whispers echo, yeah, they disrupt.

Who am I in this tale untold?
A self-made lie, a story I hold.
Lost in thoughts, I roam this maze,
****** path or anxiety, in my mind im crazed.
Wandering deep within my soul,
Endless wonders, battles take their toll.

In this vast world, I sit and ponder,
How to halt this mental thunder?
Endless possibilities, they taunt and tease,
Yet, they won't define me, won't bring me to my knees.

An untold saga, battles every single day,
In the midst of chaos, I find my way.

It is what it is, with meaning deep,
I've overcome much, my promises I keep.
Prepared for any battle life might throw,
No, you won't see me rattled, I've learned to grow.

In the present that's sown, I stand tall,
Can't change what's happening, gotta deal with it all.

The untold tale of every man's strife,
Striving for excellence, defending family, risking life.
We put on a brave face, don't let it show,
Hold it in, so your family cant see your  woes.

That's the story etched in every man's core,
Facing battles, yet leaving the story untold....p
