The road to independence.

All of a sudden I'm growing so fast,
Far away from home, independent at last.
The days seem endless and so repetitive.
And the competitive side of me,
Refuses to let tears hit the floor...
Father said sweat is what success demands for.
Overwhelmed by high expectations,
Amazing is standard - no congratulations given.
Every day such a battle in attempting to thrive,
I'm surviving but I long to be alive.

You are enough

Perhaps in great darkness, There truly is a light...  For it's been almost a year or two  Since i've felt the need to write.  Though my writing feels quite rusty,  And awkward to continue, I want to capture what I'm going through.  This is stress that's quite brand new.  I asked for a new challenge,  And challenge I was granted. Now that I've got what I wished,  I wonder if that's what I wanted.  Do you know that feeling, Where you're constantly subpar-  Even if you've tried everything You seem to still fall far. It's not like I'm not trying, It's not like anyone's to blame, But I'm always in a rush,  For people to know my name.  I wish I was way smarter,  I wish I was way quicker,  I wish I was way louder,  I wish I was less bitter.  They say you are enough, But it doesn't seem the case, Even when people assure me, I can't help thinking it's fake...

Life is complex in it's simplicity.

The three main walks of life, To be happy, live and survive. They say "chase your dreams" and then "No, don't be dreaming." Trying to inject my life with their meanings. It's impossible to truly live without confrontation, disputes and argumentation, people try to help, destroy and add confusion. There are choices to be made and it's hard to find our own, In this big big world you're insignificant, leaves us feeling so alone,  when others give you a break life'll still throw us sticks and stones. We all have to learn to defend ourselves and be strong but it's easier said than done, sometimes we'll find to be in the wrong side of the pavement. And patience will lead us to a place of greatness but we have to wait, as the roads aren't always in lines of straightness. Don't fall for every bait, don't start hating fate, Our lives are for us to dictate. Through damnation, frustration, causation, remember that we can

I used to be

I used to be an avid writer, Or even a poet as I'd like to claim. It's been quite a while since my last post about insecurities and shame. Those feelings that came but never went. It seems that I stopped being good, At anything at all, All I knew was how to stare, And how to fall. Since, I've done a lot of growing, A whole lot of learning, But I still keep hanging, Onto the faith that others have for me, Even though I have no belief, Nor any certainty I could ever succeed.
