do you go with the flow towards eventual destruction, or strike out on your own and sever your ties to those you know?

am i pushing them away into someone else's arms?

look inward- even if you go too deep, knowing who you are anchors you against what the worlds wants you to be

going through the motions, wondering what the hell even matters- it can feel hopeless, and yet we persist because we must

i want to do so many things, but i can't muster up the energy- i tell myself it'll happen, but is it only hot air to prop myself up?

despair, anger, depression, rage- sometimes contemplation is broken by swells of raw, powerful emotion, a natural extension of dwelling on thoughts that weigh heavy on the mind

sometimes the despair takes hold, and won't let go- but when it does, when the weight is lifted, you'll see a better tomorrow. i promise. so struggle against the grip of despair, writhe against it, and never give in. you aren't alone.
