Darkness

Growth

Felicity

Let me tell you the story

about finding the place

where your soul will

forever find its peace.

Get yourself some rest

& let my words guide you through

darkness, growth and felicity.

Darkness • noun

[ dahrk•nis ] pl. darknesses

This marks a gloomy and depressed state of life.

An individual may feel empty and sad,

thinking their emotions are overwhelming

them to the fullest.

There is darkness

everywhere I go

–– I am afraid of the dark

A whirlwind swept over my life

causing too much pain,

changing me into the person

I never wanted to be.

– chaotic, with a pinch of disorientation

The person in the mirror turns out to be

my biggest enemy in this battle of life.

I cannot tell you how many times

I laid in my bed, in regret of always saying

I was alright even though I wasn´t.

– trapped in my own four walls

Let me show you how cruel

the society can be to a person:

Your mind spills art, honey.

And you are afraid to show it

to the world.

Them saying that I would not make it

made me believe that my life was created

for me to fail.

Oppression is telling a sunflower

in a field of roses to fit in

and stop behaving like herself.

– this is how you make me feel

And while I was trying to cure the panic

inside of me, the only thing I could hear

was myself breaking down.

– helpless

To-Do list for everyday of the week:

1. Find 5 things I can see

2. Find 4 things I can feel

3. Find 3 things I can hear

4. Find 2 things I can smell

5. Find 1 thing I can taste

– it will never stop to be significant, will it?

And my tears are rolling down

symbolizing the tragedy of a dying plant.

– I am a lost & wild flower

Glass shattered.

A million pieces on the ground.

Not even the moments that mattered,

would keep me away from getting drowned.

– my own expectations

Procrastination seemed like the right thing to do,

until the regret came in like the flu.

– slowly, getting heavier step by step

All I see is a broken, hardly spoken to little girl.

Whose wings needed to go through too much at her age.

Afraid of falling, lost her trust.

All she did was crawling in the dust.

The most meaningful words were left unsaid.

Shattering the deepest parts of my soul.

Thinking about how I will never feel ready to be repaired.

You told me that you would be

by my side until the end of the line.

Great to know that your line

once split itself from mine.

The place where you used to be is shadowed,
