Unless
Unless someone like you
Unlocks the gate
Lets out the flood
Lets us drown in the tears
And reach for land
The sun will sink
Unless someone like you
Opens your arms
Paints a pretty picture
Paints something to remember
And breathes in the colors
The moon will wane
Unless someone like you
Builds a bridge
Climbs a waterfall
Climbs the broken headstones
The sky will change
And we will never know
Something wrong with this poem?

The Darcy Perspective
No one said that you are going to go through life unscathed. You will be hurt. You are going to hate people and people are going to hate you. You will even hate yourself. But those are not good enough reasons to give up. Someone out there loves you and cares about you and it will never be enough for you to love them back. You can’t just be done because your expectations weren’t met. You don’t deserve what you have, and until you understand that, you will never be happy with what you get.
