Gotta Show The World

My eyelids start to droop shut as my eyeballs roll back. Even over the blaring music, I can hear the second-hands of the clock ticking ever so faintly. I've been playing the same song on a loop for the last thirty minutes or so. I always do this. Obsess over a song and play it over and over again until I get sick of it. But this one is different. I haven't been able to stop listening to it for the last couple of days.

"Sometimes, running on low 

Takes you all the way home

Proves how far you can go

You've got to show the world

When it all feels like everything's impossible

And you don't fit right in a crowd

Go wild and break the mold

If you don't try you'll never fly

But you gotta be brave"

Listening to this song, my lips curve from a frown into a smile in mere seconds. I talk about this bizarre way my moods change quite frequently, don't I?
You know where my happy place is?
In moments like this. Late at night, sitting up with folded legs as my dull faded headphones deliver beautiful melodies into my ears whilst I run my fingers across the keyboard. It's kind of hard to explain the way I feel and why I share all this with you in these late night sessions. But do we really need a reason for everything we do? No, I'd rather not. I'd rather give apt and detailed descriptions about the minute things that actually matter.

I fall into this whirlwind of depression from the slightest nudge. If I don't try to be strong, I won't be. It's as simple as that, right? Control the mind, before it controls you.

I guess this'll be my new mantra, "If you don't try, you'll never fly".
Be brave.
