A Beautiful Place
A Beautiful Place
We walk these halls and only see the surface
But little do we know how much is buried inside
We look at these faces without seeing the wounds
These wounds in which we are so desperate to hide
It was hard to grasp the thought, but I was lost
At this point I’d try anything, no matter the cost
I was desperately searching for something to make me smile
However no matter what I did, the happiness only lasted a short while
My head was filled with so much doubt
I was insecure and sad, but I wasn’t sure what about
It’s something I feel is rarely talked over
But as a teenager it can be hard to keep your composure
You are told that there is so much to be grateful for
And yes this is true, but our feelings aren’t something to underscore
I struggled with this for quite some time
But before I could give up, I was shown a sign
A little white paper, reading “Synergy” in bold
God's way of telling me it was time for my story to be told
I walked in so anxious and shy
But by the end I was filled with so much joy I could cry
Within hours, the one thing I had been searching for
Was gifted to me so immensely, yet I still wanted more
This beautiful place where everyone was so kind
Aplace that felt so safe and allowed me to ease my mind
A place of utter inspiration and empathy
A place I learned of others who were feeling the same as me,
A place filled with so much love and care,
The hurting girl felt she belonged, despite searching elsewhere
This one day would leave an eternal mark
For It allowed my hurting soul to emerge out of the dark
It is in fact synergy that is my biggest point of inspiration
Because it saved me by dissolving my thoughts of limitation
This little event, held in a little gym, in this little town in the west
Has had a large impact, for large reasons, to those who are distressed
Regardless of where I go in life, I will always look back and remember this time
In which I watched the utmost hurting souls step into the light
I will forever be extremely thankful for this simple act,
Where these beautiful angels left such a large impact
Allowing myself and tens of thousands of others to feel wanted
Despite the negative feelings of ourselves in which we are haunted
It’s a place where regardless of your gender, sexuality, or the color of your skin
You will always feel wanted and be happy deep within,
Through telling this fraction of my story I’m sure you see
Exactly why, Synergy has immensely inspired me
