Try to Feel Alive.
Change doesn't happen
Solely on a wish
Understand to survive
You must take some risks
Shun the familiar
Rotting your insides
There is no comfort here
So take the first stride
It may seem a sacrifice
But you cannot kill a corpse
Its distorted form is mocking you
Rotting in your core
It is not numb you feel
It is the stench of constant death
Clean your house and find love with a beat and warming breath
Move from your town
Get a new job
Or travel for a while
Whatever your means are at the time
Pave a way out of exile
And for those of you trapped in worldly
Suffocating constraints
Know the mind is a palace capable of constructing many escapes.

Author's Note
These times are tough and take adapting. We could do this :) I'm feeling giddy today after one of the worst weeks I've had in a while due to MULTIPLE bomb drops and disappointments. But a light after all the gambles and life changing moves I've made shows that my work and suffering wasn't for nothing :) chin up folks. Change induces a different kind of fear that keeps us alive. We need it!

Yessir! Thing is, I'm kind of getting tired of helplessness. I understand every circumstance is different, but in a way, for me, its not. I've been in really bad situations that I've dug my way out of, so I really am getting tired of people who are perpetually disheartened in their situation if that makes sense lol. Thanks for the read and comment!!
