Cast aside again and again and again and every single time you felt like nothing

Life can be chaos fear, anger, destruction It tears you down and threatens to overwhelm

The demons are swarming mocking you, laughing at you you run for a safe corner where they can’t pursue

Everything was beautiful Bright, happy, colorful Full of sparkling, magical wonder I started to smile again Thought that maybe I could fit in And the joy would chase away the thunder Gone were the storms I’d known for so long And I believed with my whole being that I could belong

I know how you feel that your problems are a burden and that you can’t ask that anyone else share them

You got lost and confused In your chaos, you messed up The only thing to do now is to own it and fess up

When you’ve been hurt it’s hard to recover and easy to push others away as you seek safe shelter

Dear Isaac,

There’s so much I love about you That I couldn’t imagine life without you The time we’ve spent together Is something I’ll cherish forever

We all lose our way sometimes Even the best of us We fall into the dark and can’t get back out

Something small and simple cuts deep tearing you apart, piece by piece You struggle to recover and understand But thinking is like sculpting with dry sand
