Dark

Statement.

By B.you.tiful 🖤Published 5 years ago • 1 min read

Your writing is pretty dark,That’s a place I’d rather not be.

So I’ve heard as if I don’t know this.

The pain that lies within me, is ever so real and I release it in my writing. So that I don’t live in it either.

My life isn’t all darkness, pain and fear. There is lot’s of beauty, laughter and cheer. I truly am blessed and am grateful for the good.

Pain is merely what makes me bleed on this paper. It’s the reason for most of my lessons , that help me grow.

I don’t write for your pity or acceptance. Nor for you to feel you can judge me. I write for myself to help clear and ease my heart and thoughts.

Maybe you’ll understand. Maybe some can relate. For there is no beauty in life without a taste of pain. I am who I am; I continue to learn and grow daily. I’ve been through a lot; I have a story to tell.

Some will find wisdom or hope that there’s more. Some will see how broken I am and others will find simplicity in judging me from the sidelines.

All are okay, I am learning more of who I am each and everyday. Despite all the pain along with excruciating agony long engrained. I am still here standing on my own two feet capable of smiling.

I will not ever accept defeat.
