Dear Agony

Taking hold of your emotions is a balance between maintaining sanity and conforming to societal pressures. Some people hide them, others are dead on. It is not based on strength, it is not based on weakness. It is based off of something that we can barely control. It is based off of something complex, something that cannot be described in a word or two.

Sadness does things that which happiness can never compete. It brings you to a point of depression, for some a point of safety. It is a steady emotion. Someone who has uncovered a time of desperate sorrow in their life has much more to build them stronger. It hits you to the deepest depth of your heart and either brings you together with others or completely tears you away.

“Suddenly,
The lights go out;
Let forever drag me down.
I will fight for one last breath,
I will fight until the end,
And I will find the enemy within

because I can feel it crawl beneath my skin”

Nothing is true and nothing is actually beautiful.
Nothing is forever and nothing is really reliable.

There is no time to overcome such emotions as much as there is to fall into them. Maybe it’s easier to be sad—to have no standards, to have less expectations to be failed, to let things just come as they go and to not be let down. Sometimes it’s easier that way.

“Somewhere far beyond this world I feel nothing anymore”

Maybe you should write something about finding the positive in the middle of life in a shithole. Look at the positive and happiness will linger around you. All you have to do is grad it.
