Battle Scarred

There are those times in your life when things seem like they'll never get better, not ever. They're dismal, make you feel dead inside, uninspired. How do I know this? I've been there. Trust me, I know how it feels when the darkness creeps in, surrounding you, choking the life and joy out of everything.

I know what it feels like to have the happiness leak out of your world, when everything becomes a dull, dreary, depressing gray. When sometimes, life doesn't seem worth living for.

Those days when you lose faith in people, that's the worst. Because who do you depend on? People. Who do you count on to always have your back, to never look the other way when you're in trouble? Who do you count on when the going gets rough and nothing makes sense?

People.

And when you don't believe in the good of humanity anymore, what's left, besides emptiness? Besides an abyss a hundred miles away that has no end, which you just continue to fall through? When you forget what happiness looks likes, that's when things tend to fall apart.

When a tiny part of you...dies. Just crumbles. Tears apart. Splits open.

I speak from experience, the experience of knowing exactly what goes through your mind when that happens.

I do know. I know all of it. Every emotions, every thought, every tear.

It never failed. And it never will.
