Behind my emotionless face
Lies the burdens that I bear
Countless sleepless nights
Wallowing me in my past despair
That once overcame me
Years ago
Happiness surrounded me
In everything I did
But once you lie in comfort
Life takes away
What was once given
And replaced
By only hollowness
And emptiness
That only till recently
Held its place
Soon after
The thought of disappointment hits
Misunderstanding and hurtful words
Spill out across my face
And trusts becomes disillusioned
When feeling of loneliness
Consumed me
When people walked away
But as time moves on
I discovered a resolution
I am everything but perfect
But the misgiving in my life
Made me stronger
I’ve made mistakes in the past
And learned from them
This is me
Being me
Is finally enough
This is now

&quot;Believe it or not, you are in control of your own life. you are the reason why you&#039;re sad. And you are the reason why you&#039;re happy. So don&#039;t wait for happiness. Go out and find it. Right now. And don&#039;t let anyone else tell you otherwise.&quot;
