When did I become so empty?

I used to be smiling girl. Had a smile so bright

which rarely left my face.

Now I'm just a tired girl.

When did I become so uninterested?

I used to be a girl who wants to know everything.

Now I'm just a girl who's waiting for

something to pass.

When did I become so dreamless?

I used to be a girl with tons of dreams and goals.

Full of hopes.

Now I'm just a girl full of worries.

When did I become so programmed?

It feels like somebody else is moving me.

Sometimes things around me are so unreal.

It makes me question how is everything possible.

But I still know that I'm here.

I still have smiling girl inside me.

I still have bright eyes.

I still believe in miracles.

I still believe that good things will happen to good people.

I still watch the stars.

I still give my best.

I still know I'm a fighter.

Sometimes life can get a little hectic, it doesn’t make sense. But it doesn’t always have to. Because with every sad thought, with every depressing question, there is a ray of light just waiting to be seen, just waiting to be approached, just waiting to be inspiring. Then that mentality that there is no way out turns to thereis a way out.

It feels like there is no way out. There is no way out.

But we can’t think that way. We have to fight through it. Show life that it doesn’t have the right to throw us around like a rag doll. We are not rag dolls to be thrown around. We are not frayed ropes to be pulled at by every direction. We are people with feelings and dreams and hope. But that hope gets lost in translation. It escapes. Until we fight for it.

Andwe will fight for it.

It may be hard, but we accepted the challenge when we were born. When we decided to fight back, we asked for something a little harder. We asked for a wrestling match and we are pushing to win. Andwe will win. All we need is a little hope, trust, and Disney pixie dust. We just need that light. That spark. Then that weakness will turn into strength.

We have the power. And nothing can stop us.
