t r a n s c e n d e n t a l i s m ॐ

it’s nearly impossible to express a negative thought or feeling around other people because i figure everybody has enough stress and strife and i feel guilty reminding them of all the struggle that life has to offer.

so i let my light shine bright for them, but when im alone the darkness comes back and swallows me whole. 

i feel simultaneously too prideful and too ashamed to reach out,

and fear that nobody else could understand even if i did.
