Where I am from

I am from a world with two sides,

from a glorious day and a terrible night.

Like knights they forever are locked in an endless duel.

I am from a loving family,

who have a powerful place in my life,

and whom all carry a heavy weight on their shoulders.

I am from hitting rock bottom

without knowing who to tell.

I am from a pain that cuts like a knife,

with no escape from the pain

and with no one to help me get over it.

I am from wanting to change

and never trying to.

I am from the pain that made me lose who I thought I was,

but now I know that I never lost myself,

But was just refined to be a better version of myself.

I am from the need for help,

and never asking for it.

I am from wanting to give in,

but always fighting harder than before,

as I see the faces of the ones who I know love me the most.

I am from a powerful evil

(Darker than midnight,

colder than ice)

that I have fought for years.

Buried deep in the catacombs of my mind,

is a door locked away.

Memories are pushing on the door,

but it doesn’t release the pain.

These moments shaped who I am,

everchanging, never slowing.

I am from these sorrows, I was forged,

and I will never be the same.
