A Part of You

Lost in my mind
I wanna know
Am I losing my mind?
Never let me go
Trapped inside your own mind. Suffocating with insecurities. Self doubt clad in black robes, posing as a demon, you gotta fight on your own. One can spend eons dreaming of the future, lying down as a rock without moving a muscle. That future is never yours and never was. For it takes effort to make it yours. You will dream about it, not achieve it, doubt yourself and sulk about it. Oops! Did you forget something. Oh yes! You forgot to work and toil.You messed up big time.Well, now what? Starting anew sounds easy. But is it really? 
How are you ever gonna get back up when you lack will, when you lack the courage to fall back again? How are you planning to outsmart your own mind trap? How are you feeling about your demons? How are you gonna see the silver lining in the dark clouds hovering over head?
This dark and shady persona is a part of you. Live with it. Learn from it if you can. Don’t run from it, cause it’s always gonna catch up. Don’t suppress it, or it will end up whispering in your ears. Don’t try to jump out of it, cause you’re gonna fall back into something whose depths you cannot fathom. 

Just embrace it.

Like that one annoying habit of your friend.

Like your mother nagging you everyday.

Like the irritating snooze mode of your alarm.

Dark or bright, it’s a piece of you. Smile when you see the mirror. Find reasons to love yourself. Just like you love your people. Love very aspect of yourself, for it makes who you are. And you are different.
