"The Brighter Side"

When your standing in the dark,scared and alone,take a look around the corner and what do you see?If you look hard enough you can find happiness,No one needs to take you there,but yourself,Take a risk and go.What the worse that can happen?You end up back on the darker side?Why not take a break and get away from it?It may be nice if some one were to take you there,but then again you can always meet some one while you're there.Your life is only a second in the time of the world.It's gone like that.You need to take the best of it. Imagine sitting in a dark corner with no hope left,some one reaches their hand out to you.Do you take it?Lets say you do.So,out of curiousity you take the hand.With a gentle pull the hand pulls you up to your feet and starts walking slowly,so you follow.After just a few steps,it starts to get lighter,then you look around as it keeps getting lighter and lighter till you can make out objects.that are around,then you look at the hand your're holding,and you look at the face and you realize it was only just you the whole time.Is it possible?I believe so.In order for some one else to help you, you have to help your self first.Now,if you wouldn't have taken that hand,you would be left with the "what if " question. What if I took the hand,would be in a better place?What if the hand was just a stranger?What if the hand was going to be "the one"?Would you really want that? There are two choises in life,you can be happy or sad.Yes,you could be a mix of both,but you choose weather to stay sad or not.You choose weather things are going to bring you down.We control our own lives.Is it worth it to spen your whole life in the dark?If you think so,I hope your happy in the end.But, honestly,it doesn't seem worth it though,We were given one life,one chance. Of course not every thing is going to be perfect,nothing is perfect,but we can makes it ours.Not theirs,They already have their own life. Little things have brought me down in life,and I let it get the best of me.I didn't think I was good enough to be happy since bad seemed to be re-acurring over and over.So,I created my own kind of happiness,a kind of pretend happiness.I'm ashamed of happiness I have made I wish never did it,but the scars will be there forever. Only one person has seen them with out me telling them,and I felt dumb,stupid,for ever doing it. He told me everything was okay,and he felt bad for me.I don't want that,I want people to think I'm strong. Last night,I almost did it again,but I stopped myself.I'm glad I did, I felt horrible last night,I almost gave up.Once I got to work today,I realized,one person can't bring me down.He's not the controller of my life, I am.
