Bella Fauser- Never Ending Darkness

Earth is falling apart.

Darkness fills the skies, our home struggling against the wind.

If only our hearts were strong enough.

 

Now, while hearts are special, they’re also dangerous.

Playing with minds and distracting our souls from reality.

leaving our visions to be narrowed, and our mind dull.

 

We seem to believe that depression can and will find you anywhere,

that it’s going to infiltrate the mind.

Crumbling you from the inside out, with no chance of escaping.

 

Perspective is overrated. 

Constantly criticizing the world, however it wants 

Judging the world just because it can, but who’s to say

 that perspective won’t benefit one’s mind? 

I hear you but it’s not that easy

Despite the fact that it often moves the conscious to an 

abstract, quiet, dark place, where your view on life is dimmed and darkened

 

Nothing can motivate the change of one’s ways 

Continuously making the wrong decisions, slipping into their own mind. 

But, no matter how confused or lost someone is, their 

heart will, no matter what, find something to live for, 

something to beat for, something that cares.

 

I believe we all have something that is worth 

knowing by others, that we all deserve a fair chance.

Though, not all will get to prove themselves, 

not all get to prove what makes them special 

Some are, well, not so lucky 

Drifting beneath the surface, giving up on themselves 

 

And the sad truth is, those who who fall, will stray away from the world 

And from themselves entirely.
