This is no cry

This is no cry for help

For I find beauty in the reality of my sadness

I find peace in the loneliness I’m expected to feel

I am able to breathe

But I am also able to fall

~

This is no cry for support

For I find comfort in the world standing still

I find simplicity in my twisting trains of thought

I am able to breathe

But I am also able to choke

~

This is no cry for change

Because I know that change means failing

I find strength in the insane difficulty of staying alive

I am expected to hurt

But I am also able to live
