"You will be found" -Dear Evan Hansen


I can be sad,

but you bet I can be glad.

these feelings don’t control me,

As I sit under this graceful tree, 

I long to be free. 


I am happy,

but you bet I can be snappy.

As I lie in this wide valley,

I long to be free.


I am proud,

but you bet I still get scared in big crowds.

As I gaze up to the clouds,

I long to be free.


I am mad, 

but that doesn’t mean I can’t be glad. 


all of a sudden,

I have a revelation.


I learn that you don’t need to be free

to enjoy the looming sea.

or to rest, 

to take a break from being stressed.


life is yours,

so do whatever ensures that you are happy.


I am brave.

Even though my emotions come in many different waves.


I am excited,

Even though sometimes I feel exhausted,

the salt-water sea still rises up to kiss me.


I am perseverance,

Even though I tend to feel like disappearance,

being outside still tends to maintain my happiness.


No matter what I am feeling,

I am glad that I am still breathing.

I love your messages- how your simple formatting pairs well with the surprisingly deep messages. Like this one! Embracing your emotions and growing because of them is something not even some adults have learned. Lovely as always <333

@Lydiaq It means that even though my emotions can overtake me, I'm happy to be alive nonetheless.
