It's the endless nights of loneliness and desperation that seem to stretch on forever, the drunken fights fueled by a desperate need to feel something, anything. The tears shed in the dark, the deep wounds in my heart, the crushing hopelessness that threatens to engulf me. The daily battle to find a glimmer of hope and a reason to keep going in a world that often seems devoid of both. Despite it all, I'll find a way to rise above and emerge stronger than ever.
