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.
