Short Stories & Quotes by Dilumi

I'm alive

Everyone goes through something different.
I don't go through the things others do, but still I find inspiration in them.
You could call me a paradox.
Because of my passion, the brightest of lights leaves me speechless.
And the darkest of darkness only leaves me thrilled.
I'm sensitive.
Every emotion I have goes onto a massive scale.
Yet still I find hope in life.
Because I continue to see the beauty in it all.
There is another world.
There is something more.
There is light falling through the cracks in heaven.
And sometimes I feel like it's only seen by my eyes.
You can tell me I'm too young to understand all this.
You can tell me the beauty in life is not what it seems.
But I don't see the point in living if I can't follow what makes me alive.
So even if passion isn't what I thought...
Even if life isn't what I hoped for...
Even if I give this all up when I'm older...
Even if dreams all fail...
Yeah, you can wake me up then.
But right here, right now, in this moment,
Everything else in this world is a dream.
And I'm alive.
