Shell Of Defeat.
By: Sophia

Have you ever just had so many things thrown at you that just have no idea what to do to fix them?

I tell myself I have hit my breaking point, it’s time to crawl into this shell of defeat, where I can just hide from my problems. Where I don’t have to care about anything, don’t have to feel anything anymore. Sometimes this Shell of defeat just sounds so lovely and it will calls my name. In this shell of defeat I think everything will be better, I think I won’t have any worries anymore. We all know not having to have any responsibility’s or problems sounds so perfect right? In this shell of defeat all these problems and feelings disappear.
So I tell myself that this is my breaking point. Time to give up, time to crawl into this comforting shell. I mean it does seem really nice right?
But no, I refuse to let these problems make me give up. I will not curl up in this shell of defeat. “Keep going you little warrior” I tell myself. This is just a chapter of your life. These problems won’t last forever. Why is it in our society that being sad is a bad thing? It’s ok to feel sad sometimes. It’s ok to not always be happy. Because without feeling sad sometimes how can you truly be happy?
So I keep going. I put my warrior paint on my cheeks and keep moving. Because darling this is just a chapter of your life. This does not define your life. So I keep going, I am a little warrior.
