What it's like to be me

I can smell the Freshness of Summer,

The Clarity of Autumn,

The Chills of Winter,

The Beginnings of Spring.

I can feel the Warmth of the Sun,

The Loneliness of the Moon,

The Sorrow of the Stars.

And my empty soul.

I choose to voluntarily and unconsciously lose emotions.

As emotions becomes tasteless.

It surprises me that I can still cry,

That I can still feel love, hate and pain... sometimes.

When mornings become exhausting.

When home becomes a trauma.

When life becomes a drag.

When I become someone unnecessary.

But I choose to be strong, independent.

When life gives me shit,

I choose to be kind.

When life wants me to suffer,

I will - but I'll always pick myself up.
