Darker

You feel like you would be darker for me than 
I would have ever seen
But trust me, my friend...no one else could 
ever be darker than me for myself 

I made double attempts for my life
And no one else is ever going to do that 

Making conscious choices..every second every minute of my life
Prioritizing people's opinions over my mental well-being.... 

I have tried every single thing 

I have regrets but I'm learning how to enjoy life 
And I would like to indulge myself for a couple more years 

With regrets come realizations and with 
realizations comes the responsibility to 
figure out what I wanna do with my life


and I, my friend, am really interested in 
dancing my way through life
