#reflection within

I'd like a moment to myself                                        I don't want to have to pretend to find something interesting in my phone or act like I'm busy looking for something constructive to do.  I just want to breathe and be.  I want this perplexed heart of mine to relax and let go so that I can clear my mind and free my spirit of the every day bs I endure.   I need a moment to collect myself and exhale all negative vibes forced upon me.

Reflection Within (by Untapped Inkwell)

We're raised to believe  Parents are good, strong, and right Friends are a good back up when your family isn't there Family is the most important thing

We're raised to believe We are not enough Our feelings are the result of over-analysis and lack of sleep Pleasing others is the most important thing. But the years pass And the seasons change We grow and realize the world around us is not what we thought Dreams fade into nostalgia  Hopes fade to mediocrity

The years pass We are enough Our feelings are real and valid (sometimes) Being ourselves is the more important thing. 

The years pass Parents turn into people who screwed up and have problems Friends become more important--and others fade away Family importance might be replaced Slowly but surely We must realize that while it may not be what we'd hoped for What we'd wanted It's still okay. And it's still beautiful. And so are we.
