Growing Within

I’ve grown accustomed to dwelling on the bad
Thriving from the macabre and the sad

But lately I’ve felt this sense of lightness 
I feel so free, void of the toxicity, brimming with brightness 

I find it hard to understand what I’m undergoing
I don’t know what’s real or what’s true but, this future is glowing

All I know is that I don’t feel like I’m sinking 
The good moments are no longer shadowed by overthinking

Because my life is worth something and I know that I count
I know that all my value and worth have an infinite amount

I may not always have much faith in myself and I question too much 
But I see myself in other’s so I know there are lives I can touch

And as long I can help at least one soul
I promise I can piece myself together and I too can become whole
