existing
through darkness

breakthrough.
life and death in all of their glory
simultaneously telling my story
i can see it all coming from the shadows
in a sudden blinding light
blinking my way through
like life coming from the womb
you are becoming new.
necessity said to believe
in all of the lovely things
from being cramped inside this darkened world
the culmination of what was willed to our consciousness
learning that things are not always what they seem
even in tragedy,
understanding that everything has beauty
forming in the deepest depths of our minds.
everything we are meant to be
while forced to come to the realities of mortality
it can be quite the struggle to endure.
somewhere in the spirit realm
we spend most of our existence
like we are trying to escape from this life
preternaturally loathing an earthly resistance
daydreams become daily things
when positivity comes only when our mind's asleep
is this purpose i'm told i have worth anything?
do i have a reason to even keep going?
the constant thoughts that keep on flowing
is this life of mine even worth knowing?
most of us learned to hate it here.
consistently moving in fear..
questioning myself and who i'll have to be
i live thinking only of these things
solitude and silence are all that waits for me
somehow there's only the darkness to believe
doctors told me this life will be over shortly
will my spirit truly roam free?
is this all i will ever see?
as i await the pull of gravity
staring into the blackened sky that we fall into for eternity
my body somehow knows.
what is health anyway?
is this how life truly goes?
is her power the definition of madness?
will this remove all of the sadness?
god only knows who this vessel holds
boom! there she goes.
