Sanity Loading
Welcome to the darkness
greetings from your mess
do not fear the shadows
make peace with your distress
Strong are those who occupy
the corners of their mind
where thoughts turn in to feelings
and comfort has resigned
Hang out with your grief
struggle with affliction
gain power over conflict
and conquer mental friction
High five your inner demons
recognize them well
deal with them the best you can
then send them back to hell
Shake hands with sorrow
and look it in the eye
let it have its way with you
then kiss its ass goodbye
Suffering makes us deep
avoidance is unwise
you must endure the struggle
to release the pain and rise
Self-awareness is the remedy
when you feel like you're imploding
so be mindful of your bad-side
while your sanity is loading…
