Life is cruel

 

It tests people to their limits

In the hands of life

people turn into puppets

Humans must struggle to survive

 

My weak corrupted heart

only creates more difficulties

I am filled with regrets

Life’s tearing currents causes my heart to sway

I feel weak

even when I try my best

 

 

Moving forward is hard enough

let alone doing well in life

Just living is challenging

 

In the past

I felt completely dead on the inside

 

 

Yet

despite my flaws

 

A handful of people

still accept me

They accept me for who I am

They love me

even though my heart is dark

 

They are my saving grace

 

 

 

With them

Light exists within my heart

With them

My heart is not empty

With them

Life is worth living

 

 

Someday

I will move on from my regrets

I will live a full life

I will free myself from the past

 

I know I can do this

because I am able to create bonds with others

I am not alone

because I am able to feel warmth from friends

I am not empty

because I am filled with life from the people I care about the most

 

 

I am weak

but I can live with that

 

As long as I find the strength

to protect what is dear to me
