An Old Picture from a Dark Place There was a time I my days was long. The sun could shine but all I saw was clouds of gray. It was a lonely place, filled with me being isolated, and what sucked more I tend push people away. It wasn't that I disliked people I just slowly started to see what "Truth" the mask my enemies would wear. I dream was to be a hero, but I picked up to many battles I was unequipped to fight . Needless to say I won, but those scars took a long time to heal, but the days leading up to this was painful. Many broken promises was cast to my shore line but I never opened the bottles. High of a disbelief I needed an escape, so with an argument with my brother I left. Went to a place foreign to me, but my eyes finally saw something beauty. Big Bear was good to me, I was able to enjoy the moments that was shared, and this is where I returned to my first love. You see I took a 3 year break from poetry, and being on an island your mind tend to make Bridges impossible for anyone to cross. With my camera in hand I took this photo and smiled because I was able to see the sun once again. #poetry #poetrycommunity #poem #beatdepressionandanxiety #camermanintraining #bigbear #oldvactionphotos #reflection #badcameraangle #spokenword #spokenwordpoetry #exposeyourinnerself #regainmysmile #mystormpassed #blessed https://www.instagram.com/p/B6X-k5nHp1h/?igshid=yawwuq89teau
