They ask what I want
Where I want to be
What I want to see
What I want as a job
My dreams and passions
I can never answer honestly
How do i explain
That I'm not sure I even have a future?
How do I show that I'm struggling with the present?
My past haunts me
My present is destroying me
My future is unknown or gone
It's hard to live now
Going through years more of this is agony
I wish my pain would just end
But it doesn't
It makes me stronger
It makes me change so much more than I thought I could
For the better
It makes me feel alive
To know that I was able to get through the darkest of times
I didn't give up
Regardless of everything telling me to
You shouldn't either
Because no one else would give up on you
So why should you?
We each have our own internal darkness
All of ours different
But it's not what defines us
It's how we cope with it that does
How we get through it
And if you're still trying
You're fighting as best as you can
And that's all you really need
