Start Anew

Have you ever felt alone, even when you’re surrounded by people?
Have you ever felt like crying, but you end up smiling instead?
Have you ever wanted to scream into the pillow at night, but feared you’ll wake someone up?
Have you ever crushed something in your hands, exactly like your heart was being crushed?
Have you ever felt lost, even though you were at the right place?
Have you ever felt like you’re not yourself anymore?

Maybe its the way life is,
You have company yet you are alone,
People leave you, yet you smile,
You are where you are supposed to be,
Yet you wanna be somewhere else,
That doesn’t mean you’re troubled or broken,
Betrayal hurts,
A broken heart hurts,
A stupid fight hurts,
But nothing hurts more than telling yourself “Its fine. Your fine.”,
Sometimes you want to let go,
Surrender perhaps,
But you don’t,
Because you’re stronger than that,
You can overcome any problem.

As furious as you can get,
Don’t ever let it bring you down,
Be kind,
Even when nobody is,
You’re young and probably been hurt a lot,
Maybe you’ve grown wiser,
But inside your still hurting,
Its just that you don’t show,
For reasons unknown,
Or maybe because you don’t want anybody to know you’re hurting,
For that I’ll say ” You’re strong”,
For that I’ll say “I’m proud”,
But I’ll also say “I’m sorry”,
I’ll say “I’m sorry you had to go through it alone”,

But I understand,
Somebody else does too,
You’re not the only one suffering,
If you look clearly,
The people smiling brightest still have the tears in the corner of their eyes,
The people acting like they don’t care,
Have a heart ,deep within which they do care,
Everybody matters,
Not to you perhaps,
But to someone,
Maybe you could be that someone to somebody,
Maybe there’s one out there for you too.

No matter how hard it gets,
You know it gets hard,
Don’t let go,
People hurt us,
Its their thing,
Don’t let them change the person that you are,
Don’t let a bad experience take it all away from you,
Scratch everything,
Hit delete,
Start fresh ,
Start anew.
