Remembering An Emo Life

I used to be...

Days were spent held up in my room with lights low and curtains holding away any form of sunshine.
I never thought the sun could shine in my direction. Feeling like everyone hated me and I was worth nothing. screaming my lungs out and turning up the music just so no one could hear my tears.
I ...well I even cut myself a couple of times in places where others couldn't and wouldn't see.
I remember drinking heavily and smoking weed till my lungs collapsed. Skipping school because.. well. what the fuck did I really think I had to life for? My family... well lets just say everyone was looking out for self.. and sometimes forgetting I was still a child.
I was still a child....
Lost.. anti-social without a real meaning. Not understanding what was really wrong with me. Hating so much and loving so little. Yet somehow able to function beyond those 4 walls as if everything was ok....
Until I snapped one day and well.. lets just say I'm glad to still be here.
Remember...
People struggle to stay alive...
Some people would trade their souls to walk another day on this Earth.
Live everyday as if you were living you last.
Even when shit gets tough...as long as you are breathing.. you've won half the battle.
