sometimes you just gotta let go...

I know my everyday is riddled with dismay,
Knowing full well the horrors on display,
In my own mind I'm subject to negative thinking,
I need to face my fears without blinking.

Dreams that fade as i stay awake,
Insomnia is what keeps me up late,
Stars i wish i could reach out and take,
To start a new life with a clean slate.

But its undeniable I love life right now,
Regardless of the when where and how,
No matter the numerous hardships and strife,
Unhindered by all because this is my life.

Truth be told I'll be on my hands and knees,
Succumbed to the burdens that won't set me free,
Struggling to atone for this world's madness,
Tainted by the many scenes of unhappiness.

Why are so many hard-pressed to be depressed?
Having sins in their hearts not yet confessed,
Afraid that if revealed their reputation ruined,
Being sucked up by the black hole within.

But honesty is well worth its weight in gold,
When the burdens on your shoulders are reduced ten-fold,
Knowing everything on you chest has been released,
Being yourself works wonders and it'll never cease.

I don't wanna live my life living on regrets,
I wanna accompany my life to its best yet,
To see truths told in the darkness of my soul,
To be able to let go...
