The Glass Room

Feeling trapped and helpless in this glass room called life is scary! All you can do is sit back and witness all of the hate, lies, heartache, deceit, impostors, pain, lack of emotion, and loneliness. So much is going through your head, that you fight to forget. You just want to close your eyes and hope that it is all over, but instead you open them and realize that everything is still there. You think maybe you should go run tell someone or seek help, second guessing yourself to the point of frustration to realize no one is there. Instead of this glass room shattering due to all of the problems and issues that has been encountered, the room starts getting bigger. Now you have even more room to fill this endless emotion that you are experiencing. You repeat to yourself over and over "if you can't beat them, join them." Now their actions has turned into your lifestyle. Surrounded by people with like interest in the same glass room, you become weary. You begin to breakdown and realize that you hate yourself for the time you have wasted in this room. Fighting to get rid of the people that has brought you down, you finally clear the room. Although the people are removed from your life, that same feeling is all that you know. All of a sudden you look to your right to discover a door. You proceed to open it but is sceptical of what is behind it. It opens! On the other side lies your freedom and peace.

Sometimes you have to open your eyes, mind, and spirit to what lies beneath all of the heartache. You are not alone. If your parents are not great supporters of your feelings, find someone who is. Do not take life as is because we have too much to look forward to that is awesome!!
