dark skies and silver linings

You,

staring at the black walls around,

remembering that it was you who painted it

drowning in waters.

stuck under rain clouds and disasters.

let me tell you that I have once felt the same way you did.

Helpless.

Stuck.

Worthless.

incapable of being worthy,

lost in the light,

not knowing the meaning of being happy.

neglected by the ones I loved.

but let me tell you this, no matter how worst it gets,

no matter how much the world turns its back on you

you always have the choice of being happy,

and you can always go back to the way things were.

because sometimes in the darkest skies,

we see the brightest stars.

You don't deserve to live a solitary life,

you don't deserve to wait around and drown in the ocean you have created on your own

you don't deserve to succumb to the darkness that has made you suffer long enough

you don't deserve to hide around the words that people will never notice

you don't deserve to wear sadness on your skin.

You, you deserve to be happy.

You deserve all the beautiful things in the world,

you deserve to live life to the fullest

you deserve to not worry about the darkest days of your life

you deserve to be you,

you deserved to be loved.

and though I may be some random stranger that has yet to know who you are,

but I do know this, everyone deserves to live a happy life.

you deserve everything.

you deserve the love you are given,

you deserve the life you are given.

At the end of the day,

there's always a light at the end of the tunnel

sometimes we just have to wait to get through it.
