Things Are Not So Dark Anymore ✔️

I've made a decision

To start again

Right now;

I have lived so much

Of my young life,

In shadows,

In misery;

But those days,

I'm leaving them behind.

I no longer want to live in the dark,

I no longer want to see the world

Through a red lens;

I want to be soft,

I want people to see me

As the smiling kid I was

Once upon a time;

I'm finished with the sadness,

I'm done with grieving a lost life

I have not yet lived;

I want to separate myself

From the depression that once ruled me,

And start anew;

I want things to be less intense,

To be less sharpe edges,

And less overwhelming;

I will conquer my anxiety,

And live in a pastel light,

I will smile more,

And live with hope for more;

I will shout it out loud,

From roof tops,

And mountain peaks,

I am here!

And I am here to stay.
