We are who we make ourselves out to be

‘You are part of it’ By David Shrigley

You will be humiliated

You will feel ashamed

You will feel embarrassed

You will get heartbroken

You will feel like your world is falling apart

You will fall so deep down that rabbit hole

You will feel as though you’ll never be able to climb your way back up

You will stumble

Over and over again

You will hate yourself sometimes

You will feel hopeless

But that’s just the way of life

We are all so deeply flawed

In such different ways

In ways that we cannot comprehend

Nor describe

But we are also the writers of our own stories

Continuously going from one point to another

Constantly fighting obstacles along the way

We are all so deeply wounded

But there is beauty in our wounds

And that is the beauty of life

That we are as flawed as we are

As wounded as we are

writing and running keep me sane. I’ve always felt like I have too many thoughts, writing helps me understand myself better.
