I’ve experienced emptiness so deep it felt like it could swallow me whole, consuming me and destroying me all at once.

And when I thought I’ve set myself free, I find myself drowning in it all over again.

[berinburden]

We let time pass by, awaiting better days that never come and a break in the monotony that never ends

[berinburden]

And if one day I don’t wake up to see tomorrow’s sunrise with you, please know that I’m sorry.

Society applauds resilience - bouncing back failure after failure, but forgets that healing precedes a rebound, that only with rest will you come back stronger

- you’re allowed to rest. you don’t have to keep going, after you’ve taken hit after hit after hit.

Is my god so powerful that he can move mountains and calm seas?

Is my god so powerful that he can heal the brokenness inside of me?

You’re killing yourself to be beautiful, when everybody already sees your beauty. Well everyone, except you.

- note to self: look beyond, you already are enough

Sometimes I don’t want a song of hope. Sometimes I just need a song filled with so much sadness and heartbreak it consumes me whole.  Sometimes I need to allow myself to break, before I can fix myself up again.

You promised you’d hold my hand and walk with me

but you left me in the depths of hell 

now i’m just trying to pull myself together

and find a way out
