𝙇𝙚𝙩 𝙜𝙤..

sometimes

you've had enough

of getting hurt

sometimes its ok not to fight

Sometimes the lines get blurry

between what you want

And what's right

I've long since lost

the way to peace

the choice to choose whatever i might

The only path

they say

Is surrender

And yet

I hesitate

I remember being me

I remember the wind on my hair

I remember

the resonance of my heart

with the rhythm of the nature

I remember being free

Oh i remember being me

I should perhaps

Choose to love

Or i could

Always choose to fight

But

Perhaps

𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 maybe

I could be me once more

I could fly away to eternity

free

𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘴

For the last time

I could see the light

And so

Hear ye!

Hear ye!

Hereby I decide

accepting the part of me

That i had cast aside

embracing the waves once more

As my worries get washed ashore

Hence a 𝘗𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦 be i

Forevermore

You see

Sometimes it's okay to drown

So long as you swim alright

Sometimes it's okay

to fall away

If you can get back upright

And so

i smile

and let go

𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘯 𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱

𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘺𝘮𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵..
