Fighting Perspectives

Where there is darkness there is light. Life is full of opposition, one day we may find ourselves in darkness and the other in light; however we need the learning experience of both. I know myself that without the darkness I went through in my senior year of high-school that I wouldn’t be as strong or the person I am today. I also learned that those holding me down were holding me in the past, I need to move forward from that darkness; it needed to be my turn in the light. However, in that darkness I learned more of myself and I felt safe in a dark world. I found the music that spoke to me even if some people called it “dark” or “emo”, I was in a dark place anyway. The music joined my world so that I was not alone it gave me words to live. The music also gave me my writing; I learned to write poetry and music and found myself within the music, within myself and my own darkness. When I did not feel at home in the light the darkness within me took me in. I learned so much in the darkness that I outgrew it knowing in the end looking back it killed part of me. However, that part needed to die so that another could come to life. Within myself no matter what side of figurative light or dark I finally learned not to let anything or anyone hold me back from my true desires. This is my life, let the music speak through me, let my words be heard. I will not be made small, this is me, this is who I’m supposed to be so let the light shine on me.
