Freezing. Melting. Living. Dying.
All this is happening right now; the EARTH is still spinning.
All these spectacular wonders are happening in this world.
At this present time. Yet here I am. STUCK IN THIS HOLE.
With no way out, and every second that passes,
every drop of blood I bleed, every tear I shed. Makes this hole deeper. The truth is the hole. I’m stuck in, is not a real hole.
It’s my mind. I fight a constant battle every day! BIGGER then weather to wake up in the morning.
A battle of weather to let the demons inside of me… Take control or WEATHER To fight
I AM AT WAR WITH MY MIND
It’s a battle I never prepared myself to face. Then I look at all the good things that happen every day and smile.
This war will never truly end. Yet all this happiness makes the bad things go away.
Now the depths of my hole build up. I can climb
out.
Now although my mind is at war, my soul is at peace.
