Still Alive

People  always say your past will catch up with you.

Mine never left me.

It stays as apart of me.

Who i used to be.

The things i survived.

It brings some regrets, some tears.
A few smiles.

But it teaches me as the years go by.

We cry as all these memories leave there mark.

my minds cloaked in darkness.

But life's like this.

I have been though many things.

Death has kissed me.

Regrets held my hand.

Pain has embraced my mind.

I've survived tragedy of all kinds.

Yet still i refuse to let the darkness seal my fate.

It's a part of me always here.

I don't fear it.

I feed off it's power to survive.

Wake up and pinch myself.

Making sure im still alive.

Looking in the mirror i see all the parts of me.

Memories took their toll.

Another sleepless night.

Fighting to take control of these feelings.

Mind in the darkness reeling.

Take a closer look, im still in there.

My souls been stripped bare.

Exposing my pain to prying eyes.

Blink and push it all back.

My face a empty slate.

Only letting people see what i want them to see.

Only a few really know the real me.

As i go though each day.

Even as life is constantly changing.

One thing that's certain.

Im still alive.

I'll never stop fighting to survive.
