Living In The Dark

Sometimes people can think life is comfortable but, it's not many people that have to face things that many people wished never happen to them. This is what life can be interpreted as, and not many people know about living this way. Caught between to different borderlands that cannot or may be fixed.

 

To live in the borderland means rain at times.

To live in the Borderlands means having to be in a coma for years and having to wake up to not remembering anything.

To live in the Borderlands means you have to go through a battlefield and have battle scars.

To live in the Borderlands means you have hidden behind people's shadows.

To live in the Borderlands means you feel like an abandoned house that will be demolished at any time.

To live in the Borderlands means having to see dark clouds that may never go away.

To live in the Borderlands means seeing the future be taken

away.

To live in the Borderlands means wanting more time in life but not being able to have it.

 

To live in the Borderlands means bringing the past into the future.

To live in the Borderlands means having to live the life of a ghost but not invisible to anyone.

To live in the Borderlands means having to stand up for yourself and having to forget all those dark days.

To live in the Borderlands means having to be your way because we are all beautiful and intelligent in every different direction.

To live in the Borderlands means not living the childhood dreams because life is never a fairy tale.

To live in the Borderlands means looking down but not being able to look up.

To live in the Borderlands means being a tree that stays still until the wind moves it.

To live in the Borderlands means being a shatter glass.

To live in a borderland means having an opinion that doesn't even matter to no one.

To live in the Borderlands means not being able to follow the breeze to where your happiness will take you.
