Sometimes, you have to be a shadow to be among the living
Sometimes, you have to face the dark alone to even make it out alive
Sometimes, you have to feel small in a world that already feels so empty
Sometimes, you have to hide your pain so nobody can see how bad things really are
Sometimes, you have to reach your breaking point so you can make a new start
Sometimes, you have to face your demons head on so you can move forward
Sometimes, you have to fall short in order to accomplish your dreams
Sometimes, you have to make sacrifices to make your own life better
Sometimes, you have to wilt just so you can finally blossom
Sometimes, you have to be your own sunrise
