A Life Worth Living

So many wasted days spent in oblivion. I can’t have them back. But I can make this a life worth living. I’ll set the fire I’ll take everything I was and burn it all. I’ll take all of my apathy and all my mental atrophy and burn it all The fire has to burn. This isn’t over. I need to hold on. The answers don’t come easily. I’ve earned everything to be the person to set the fire I’ll take everything I was and burn it all. I’ll take all of my apathy and all of my mental atrophy and burn it all

So, I started with the best of intentions, not knowing what exactly it was I’d pay; for the many broken toes that I had left in my wake. There was a price I’d pay, but I did it anyway So, I lived in this dark place I’d call my home. I was miserable, and always in a fog. I was surrounded by what most would call “pitiful” (conditions), “unthinkable “ (way of life), but I did it anyway In Lair Hill, I tried to find my place. I threw caution to the wind, and always fell from grace. I was scared at every fear I faced. Always falling short, I had to leave that place in Lair Hill. in Lair Hill Everything just started to get cold. I had the world convinced I was okay, but I could never leave that place where I was a little boy. It meant growing up, but I didn’t like the taste I broke free from everything I was, but I had to face the monster I’d become to get there. I was sick, sick of feeling worthless and full of guilt. I begged for an answer, and a life worth living. I had to own it now to know, and feel the price I’d paid In Lair Hill, I tried to find my place. I threw caution to the wind, and always fell from grace. I was scared at every fear I faced. Always falling short, I had to leave that place in Lair Hill. in Lair Hill

As I stared up at the sky, from a bottom where I’m surrounded by an endless nothing, I begged for an answer. For Anything. It was complete desperation. I asked myself, how did I end up here? But I knew the answer before the question ever left my lips Sometimes I wonder how I’m still here. A scared little boy making every decision based on fear I spent my whole life wondering why is this happening to me? I didn’t want to find the answer, because every time I found one it was me. I had to face it. No more running. It’s time I live my life with some fucking integrity. And be here for my loved ones. Because they were always there for me. Somehow they loved me when all I felt and knew was shame The ties of who I was have been set free. i was always searching for that something but never held it Itprevailsofficial's profile picture My eyes they then opened up with clarity. For the first time in my life I found freedom from me Now that all my fear is gone the clarity has shown me who I am and everything I’ll be. The gift of clarity

Now this has come to life and death How does a hollow man find his soul? I try to wrap my mind around the moment it was gone Everything was an overcast of pain that cost everything I won't live in the shadow anymore I can't feed the cycle of intangibles just out of reach When I see their eyes that means more to me Always with me, but couldn't see Over a lifetime of self will centered on me It was always pain and yearning for liberty Why did it take so much pain To myself and others for me to change Toward liberty The furthest thing from truth was my face You only saw a mask I had to hide it I had to hide me Somehow in desperation I removed it The person that I was doesn't define me I had to find me Self pity was all I knew My whole world centered on me There was no time for me and you A fucking coward Always with me, but couldn't see Over a lifetime of self will centered on me But why did it take so much pain To myself and others for me to change
