"I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." -Marilyn Monroe

The never endiing feeling in your gut

The dim lighting in your sight

The sorrow

 The loss

The pain

It all hurts

It's a battle

It'll end someday

You have to  fight

You can never give up

Happiness is right around the corner

The light will shine brighter than the sun

You'll be happy

The pain will stop

Trust me

I've been there
