Dear Me

Dear Me,

It's been awhile since I’ve stopped to breath

To take a moment and just be free

My thoughts are always clouded

So jumbled and messy

My heart is always racing

My hands are always shaking

And I feel like if I stop this race i’m running

Everything will just collapse

And I be left in the rubble weeping

I know my fears are impractical

But I can’t help but be afraid

Sometimes I wish someone would come

And take this pain away

I know deep down inside

Its me who has to overcome

My fear seems so large

And the pain seems too great

Its built itself and everything seems to be at stake

But I’ve gone to fight a dragon withinside my soul

Its so massive and giant

I’m afraid i’ll just end up charred to the bone

It’s going to take some time

I hope i’m the one who will end up on the winning side

Sincerely

You

inspirational
