All I ever did was spread myself too

Not spread thin in the normal sense, I don't typically join into every group I see.

I'm spread thin in the sense that I give away every ounce of happiness in me most days. I give that happiness to someone else, someone who needs it.

I give it to someone who can't handle living in the dark.....

The dark is a complicated place. It's filled with brokenness and hopelessness and a never ending desire to achieve that happiness that I once lost.

No.

Not lost.

Gave away.

Because that is what I do, I give away my only happiness because I know what it feels like down in the dark and I know I can survive it.

A long time ago I use to thrive in it.....

The dark is a complicated place. It's filled with liveliness and carelessness and a never ending feeling that it's somehow making you stronger.

Strong enough to see the happiness that lies between the suffocating air of the dark.....

The dark is a complicated place. It's the place that made me into who I am today, but made me lose who I was yesterday.

Every inch of happiness I give away is

one step forward.....

and five.....

Steps.....

Back.

Can you still see my happiness?

I can't.
