We are ourselves based on how we cope

whether that is in a beautiful way

in a field of flowers

or with the boy next door

telling ourselves we are fine when we are not

meditating with our emotions

blocking them out and lighting a cigaret

the best account on knowing who a person is

is seeing how they cope

when their life isn’t going well

isolation

substances

friends

family

beauty

distortion

anger

blockage

emotions

that says a lot about a person

and can say a lot about how their life is going

the flowers are beautiful and shows serenity

but substances shows an out of control mindset

a world of unease

and chaos

we break down

and how we rebuild is who we are

and how we see ourselves

and our current self worth

this may flow at different current at certain points in time

but it shows our current status

like an update on any social media platform

“not doing well”

will resort to isolation

but this is a key

to knowing how to help someone

and if someone can be helped

this is self awareness of how we choose to cope

and who we hurt around us when we cope this way

beauty in itself

in its work

but terror in coping in negative ways

but we will develop

and change

for we are here to learn a lesson for a reason

and will learn this in one lifetime or another

beauty in itself

beauty in the pain
