“In the End”
Rhyan Murphy
It’s two in the morning and you’re up as always
Sleep refuses to come
And your mind is singing the same song it’s always sung
It sings of anxiety and self-doubt
Oh, the troubles your mind brings about
You try to shake it off, hoping sleep temporarily stops your swimming brain
But sleep once again you shall not gain
As a sorrowful symphony plays off-key in your head
When the sun sets your insecure skin just doesn’t seem to shed
And all of the negative thoughts you’ve been fed mock you
And everything about you feels horribly ugly.
But in the end, you are beautiful
In the end, you, matter.
Don’t let them be the ones to let your self-esteem shatter
And when those nights happen where every negative thing comes to mind
Try to leave those thoughts behind
And leave room for positive ones
Because after all, after all of the darkness you’ve faced…
You deserve to see the sun.
