Beauty in the Dark

Poetry

By Shyanne StephensPublished 7 years ago 2 min read

There is a time where we see the beauty in simplicity, the simplest of things have the natural lighting of what is named to be beautiful

There are times where beauty is the must to be seen, the things we do to force ourselves to look like someone else to be noticed

There are times where we forget the meaning of what words mean, the true meaning of beauty is satisfaction

And the things we don’t say get lost in the nothingness

We are more than what we want to be

Sometimes the monster we hide shines through, we do the things that we would never think of doing under the pressure of the cruelty around us

But there's always someone there to see the better in you, someone to bring you into the light again when you have lost your way

What we see isn't always what we get, we find that there is always something more under the surface

Everything that needs to shine can only shine from within, and that is where our true power lies

What we are on the inside is more valuable than who we are beneath the surface, the more we show of our true selves will bring us more joy than the person we pretend to be

How we handle ourselves and how we take what is given is crucial to our being as well as the well being of those who chose to be there in our lives everyday

What we are is up to us, monsters, angels, heroes and villains

Changing the world won't be easy, becoming what the world needs only more taxing

But worth the pain and while, we will prevail through all that seeks to destroy us, we protect as well as we can until the fight is won

We will change the world, one step, one person, one soul at a time

There’s life, even in the darkest of times, it’s up to us to find the light

There are no shortcuts in life, there is not an easy way out

We just have to take each day as it comes, no matter how tiring or how difficult it might be

There are challenges that will be thrown our way, there will always be an obstacle in our way, but it’s always going to be just that, an obstacle, a challenge for change.

And change comes for us all, whether we want it to or not

Everyday is an uphill battle, when we get to the top, sometimes we fall

Life doesn’t know how to function correctly

We’re stuck in the bitter reality

Nothing seems to stop the cycle

The last thing people see coming is pain and hurt
