Assignment 1 draft

                        Falling In and Out of Love with myself 

Life is a journey that everyone embarks on without a choice

Life is an intricate labyrinth that we’re thrown into without a guide 

Life is just a never ending abyss that every human has to free fall into 

Life  will deliver flowers to your doorstep and punch you in the gut simultaneously 

Life is our own quest into the unknown, it is our own fairytale waiting to be written 

Life is a concept, full of self-love but also crippling with hate 

Life spurs out from within and crashes with anything in it’s path 

In this journey called “Life”, I learned to love and unlove myself countless times.

Self-Love, a concept now used to describe a way to live

Self-love intertwines itself with my trauma, and my trauma ends with self-love

Self-love during your teenage years is almost nonexistent, an empty alley that leads  towards nothing 

Self-Love ended before it started, friends, school, family, and self doubt were the perfect recipe for disaster 

Self-love started out with new experiences, new things to learn about myself 

Self-love catapulted me into my own journey with deception 

Deception of self-love was the main character in this journey 

Deception of finding something new that you loved  about yourself but it was actually hate

Deception that led to the acceptance of a never ending cycle of secretly despising  yourself

Deception that the bad thing were actually good and that the fake love was actually real 

Deception that the little things that make you unique were actually the ones who made you a monster 

Deception that your likings were going to be your downfall, and your strengths were going to be you weakness

Deception that acceptance from others was going to be your success, and that acceptance from yourself would propel you backwards 

Deception lead to chain of realizations that later became a chain of inspirations to be better for you and only you

Deception that the road was going to be smooth but it was rough in an unexplainable way

Realization, one of the many hardships that I faced in the journey of finding myself 

Real a that the people who meant well were your worst enemies 

Realization that your own blood will lead you down a path of darkness with no return 

Realization that the things that you lost that made you unique were never going to be within your reach again 

Realization that no one will never show up for you, if you don’t show up for yourself first

Realization that every event will shift your axis in a different direction each time 

Realization that all it takes to stop yourself from drowning in void is a bit of determination to stop the hate and start the love

Determination is never easily found, it is buried deep within yourself and guarded by your own doubts 

Determination will try to escape from within you but will always be pushed down by your own distrust 

Determination burns through your veins but it is slowing dying, fire that wishes to explode but doesn’t have enough wood

Determination that one day decides that it had enough of being trapped, and pours out of every pore in your body

Determination that has finally escaped and now has a new light shining in your eyes 

Determination that is grasping everything that you once loved and bringing it back to you 

Determination that shows you that you are worth trying for, and that will keep you hoping for more

Determination that guide you towards your goals, and forgets about anyone outside of your mind

Determination that makes you brave, and locks anything negative out of your head

Determination that was once strong but without reason it is starting to disappear and turns into emptiness 

Emptiness that is not always empty but vacant from time to time 

Emptiness that is dying to be filled but has no clue of what to be filled with 

Emptiness that hops from one part of your brain to another looking for an answer, an answer to it’s becoming 

Emptiness that feast on your heart, stripping it from it’s goodness and leaving it full of darkness 

Emptiness that eats at your conscience, then proceeds to devour your body 

Emptiness that starts a cycle of self-hatred that ends in devastation of one’s self

Emptiness that had almost taken over me, but was stopped by realization that there was more to give 

Emptiness that was deceived by tiredness and was successful ruled out by a new found self-love

Emptiness that was determined to stay but was stopped by life

Life once again makes its appearance bringing a new dictatorship by its side 

Life has come again to make a statement, to show the ways that you can and can’t beat it 

Life has now shown itself to put you to the test…
