Whenever I feel the need to escape from reality, I tend to isolate myself from those who are trying to help. I keep my distance and lock myself in my room, fully aware that I can not heal on my own.
The term “darkness” is oddly fascinating to me. Maybe because I’ve lived all my life within it. Maybe because I’ve awoken several times in my room with my windows shut closed and allowed darkness to swallow me.
I’m a curtain blinds shut closed,
But now I’m slowly opening up,
I’m a sad song, no longer composed,
And my heart’s filling up.
I’m like a butterfly flying around,
Embracing the light with open wings,
A beautiful secret waiting to be found,
Excited for the joy it brings.
I hope you find the courage to admit that you can’t be strong always. I hope you know that life can be tough and it’s okay to rest.
Life is like the waves in the ocean. When waves crash into you, I hope you find the courage to swim through.
May you live through the dark times and be hopeful for a better and brighter tomorrow.
It was painful to live a life full of isolation, but I’m grateful I did. A part of me is glad I spent time knowing the dark. Because without it, I can’t perceive the light.
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” — John 1:5
I hope someday you can open your windows and embrace the sun, knowing that it’s okay to let the light in.
