Flowing Out of Me

There is so much flowing out of me right now.
Is it because I’m hurt and in pain?
Maybe, but who’s to say I couldn’t be inspired when everything is going as planned?

When I am as happy as I could be?
It’s not to say that I don’t get inspired then, but that it could be a bit more heartfelt when life as once knew it is crumbling before my eyes, and maybe because of my hardship I could inspire someone else.
I haven’t experienced much, because those around me have gone through the tests and trials of life and have shared their lessons learned with me.
I’m trying to empty out all of the things that are keeping me in this same place.
I need to be released from all of this so I can keep moving on to being a better me.
I realized a long time ago that if I wasn’t happy with me then no one else would be either.
And how could you expect for anyone else to love you when you don’t love and respect yourself.
I had to learn to love myself in spite of everything and everyone.
No matter what anyone else had to say, I had to love me.
Once I exempted that love for myself, those around me saw that in me and admired that quality.
I keep telling myself, this is only a test, it will be over shortly.
And as long as I continue to remind myself of that daily, I know I will get through it.
Sometimes we feel as though when we’re going through hard things, we are experiencing it alone ,but I’m sure there are plenty of people dealing with our same issues.
We just have to keep each other lifted up and together we will make it.
