Lonely Skies

Lonely Skies is about someone who feels lost in their own negativity and self-hate. Most of this stems from their fear of people and their expectations of who you should be as a person. This makes them feel like they’ll never be worth enough, and what’s worse is no one out there seems to be able to see their struggles. However, through these troubles, they’ve been able to find an anchor supporting them in the people at home. Even though they still struggle with their own self-worth, their family can make it a little more bearable and there’s also a sense of hope that maybe one day, they’ll be able to escape the unhealthy mindset.
One of the reasons I wrote this piece is to help others not feel completely alone. There are people out there dealing with the same issues, and I think this piece could help them realize they're not the only ones to feel this way. I also hope this will encourage others to seek out what anchors they could find in their life. Lastly, I wrote this to help myself believe that even though sometimes life can feel too difficult to bear, if you’re able to make it through the tough times, the future will be brighter.

Expressing my creativity is always my outlet for whatever emotions I may be feeling at certain times. It's also through my creativity that I'm able to write down thoughts that I would never share or express to anyone otherwise.
