You wake up every morning tired from the night before, from fighting, from pushing the demons away, from drowning yourself in self pity, from questioning why you do everything you do, from wondering why anyone would ever love you. Wondering if today will be the day you end it all so everyone will be happy that your gone.
Yet, you don't follow through, you back out because you can't miss your best friends wedding. You promised your favorite niece you would take her to get her nails done. You have that paper to finish for your African american history class. You have that date to go on with that really cute guy from the coffee shop.
You have plans with your friends. You realize people would miss you, your dog would miss you. The world isn't going to be better off without you. So you get ready for bed, you get comfy in you over-sized blanket and you rest up for tomorrow. That my love is the truest forms of bravery anyone has ever seen.

Upon waves' break
Staring blankly through savage waves, breaking upon worn jettied rocks. On tired tongue a salty taste, taunting spray portraits your face, In cursed thoughts, your voice mocks: "Be a man, real men don't break." Yet here stands "less than a man" poised atop crested wave. Turbulent undertows of mounted lies. Saltwater stings tear prickled eyes. Wash away by ferocious tide. Dragged out, adrift vast open ocean, Weathered driftwood, debris, discarded notions. Softly spoken lies echo through tortured mind's hell. Floating aimlessly at rhythmic water's swell. Day fades away with night, light brings day again. Cast upon discarded's land, silk fine grain white sand, Strewn together gifts of sea, randomly along the beach. Feelings return slowly, cracked open eyes. Sudden streak across the sky, fiery tail cuts black of night. Dissociation breaks to hope in light. Countless stars shine through space and time. Filling empty space..... in time.
