Blank Canvas

with time comes wisdom

with endurance, strength

it is time for me to face the real world,

to pop the bubble i created in fear of the world,

and embrace the toxic air that is called reality

it is time to quit running-

it is time to quit chasing-

it is time to settle my mind and realize the wind isn't something to follow,

and realize the ground never moves

it is time to accept life isn't fair

time to realize that not everything has a reason,

and recognize my existence isn't special like we were told it was

it is time to have the strength to say no to responsibility

not out of selfishness, but out of honoring who i am and my own values

it is time to no longer be ashamed of my own imperfections

but most importantly realize there are no such things as imperfections

it is time to let go of my anger

time to show my scars and not be afraid of the ones to come

it is time to realize that I was never in the darkness

but instead had my eyes closed

it is time to not place a smile on a strangers face to call them friend

but stare deep in their eyes to make a connection

it is time i forgot about both bad and good memories of her

and to instead create new memories with the present

it is time to accept i'm no longer Despairing Moon

it is time to not bear a title

it is time to realize there isn't enough time

and so i should cherish every second

to embrace ideas & concepts the old me would reject

and spend more time in self discovery

observing my past does confirm history repeats itself

and so to become sane again i need to change...

I want to explore & see the world for what it really is

I had fun here. Interacted with many people. Some annoy me till this day. Other's would disappear and reappear ever so often with words of encouragement.

So many poems written. So many poems read.

I appreciate the experience and learnt so much on the journey.

It's time to try something different. Something else.

To move on from all this- however I'll leave the art I enjoyed making most & hope that it will continue to reach ppl and make a positive impact

Peace. Love yall

Reality might be bleak and you're honest about it's existence. But you are special. Every one has their own unique potential and it isn't a matter of being special to others but to yourself. Your value to yourself is most important.
