The sun is setting
My mind begins to wander
Dissecting the day
The emotions rush back to me
Sadness
Hopelessness
Despair
Anger
Loneliness
Shame
Unable to count the times I have told myself
They hate you
You will never be good enough
You are a failure
You will always be broken
It’s your fault
They deserve better
He deserves better
You suck at everything
Why can’t you just be better
There are moments of light that soothe the pain, while distracting my thoughts
Casting a ray of sunshine
The intertwining darkness and destruction overlap
Suffocating the light and strength
Mixed emotions
Struggling to just be
As the beauty of the day dips into the darkness of night
Eternally conflicted
Struggling within
I might be lost
Still searching for peace
However, I am thankful to have seen another day
And the beauty of the sunset isn’t lost on me.
