Stars cant shine without darkness. That's something I remind myself of every day. Every day I feel down. Every day I don't want to get out of bed. Every day I don't want to keep going. When I feel the darkness closing in on me and I can't breathe anymore, that is the phrase that repeats over and over in my mind. Then suddenly I can breathe. The darkness dissappears for a while and I'm free. Until it comes back. Right now I'm in the darkness. I'm waiting for a time I can shine. I'm waiting for it to get so dark that I can start to glow, because once I start to glow I'll just get brighter. I've always been a star. I just need a little bit of darkness to shine.
