The Truth Is You Are Never Alone
By Rachel Smith
You could be rich
You could be famous
You could have a lot of friends
But you couldn’t convince me that you don’t have some inner battle.
A inner battle that suffocates your mind
A inner battle that tells you lies
Our thoughts may seem stronger than us
They keep us busy
Sometimes keeping us away from real opportunities
They tell us to be scared; To be hopeless
That we aren’t worth it
That no one love us
Our society is barbarous
For feeding into this
It tells us to suppress our thoughts
Which in end is our reflection of our emotions and actions
It portrays to us that if you obtain a certain status that you’ll be happy
But you find that it’s wrong; Society lied.
Hurt
You hurt
But there is a better side
The sun shines in all parts of this
Darkness no longer exist in this
I may not have all the answers
But I do know
that you are not alone
When those hard nights seem to encompass your heart
Rejoice in knowing that you’re not alone
For when we think we are alone is when we react
Sometimes regretting them
I struggle
Everyone does
So it’s time to reunite with others
It’s time to empower others
To have empathy
I’m tired of seeing these false selves
These inconsiderate souls
It’s time to start standing up for people
Who aren’t weak but who struggle
Can you hear me out?
Too many people are suffering
Too many people don’t care for others
When have we become so self absorbed
Instagram followers don’t matter
How many girls you can get in a night don’t matter
How many guys liked your pictures they don’t matter
It’s the love we show to people that do
The love in reality
That seems to have left many
I need to see something different
Show me something real
Something deep
All that I know is
My mission in life is to help those who struggle
Who feel alone
Will you join?
