The continuous sound of silence

Constant state of confusion

You don't know what it is

But I feel it too

With how loved you are

You don't see what anyone does

You look in the mirror

I know we all go through things differently

But I hope you know

I hope you truly know

I hope you forever know

That you are appreciated

That you are loved

Yes, I know how you feel

But you have family

Even if they aren't blood

Even if they're far away

You are loved

We all forget sometimes

Or even all of the time

I know we all look at ourselves

I know we watch the tears roll down our faces

We feel everything

We feel nothing

I relate to your hurt

And I know what it's like

I know your mind is racing

I know you're loved from afar

People want the best for you

Even when it feels like nobody is on your side

Even when you feel all alone

No matter how crazy you feel

You have to remember the love

How loved you are

How beautiful you truly are

You have a heart of gold

I'm proud to have you in my life

We feel so much

While feeling nothing at all

We go to extremes

We get scared

We're so tired

I know what it's like

I know how much you're feeling

You're feeling the love

While simultaneously feeling the loathing

All of the good

All of the bad

Evil

Angelic

You can't find the yin and the yang

Not right now

You're looking for it always

And you're looking so hard

You'll find it someday

We all will

We have to

See more

Be more

You're uninspired

But you'll find that spark

No matter how long it takes

You're looking

And you shall find

You will be always amazing

I do know you're confused right now

I know the silence is deafening

Because I feel it too

But I know

I know that we will find ourselves

I have faith

And I hope you can too
