A Story To Tell Pt.3: Believe Me/Me Too
It's easy to see when someone is struggling when we've been in the same or a similar place.
Believe me, when I say me too
I know what you're going through, me too
Troubles both mental and physical, won't heal if the only solution is blowin' medicinal
Believe me when I say, there ain't no runnin' away
Poppin' the bottle and hittin' the throttle, don't even know where you're speedin' to
Let me tell you, emotions have speed too, and I've tried outrunnin' them too
I want you to listen when I'm sayin' I see you, and me in you
Whatever you say my answer is always me too
Our stories are different but our pain is more or less the same
Stuck in the same pourin' rain, flooding the same storm drain
Tryin' your hardest to keep your head above the water but the rain ain't helpin' your heart
I can see an artist behind a pair of watery eyes
That can paint the colors of pain in a way that's meltin' hearts
One way or another, a story lies beneath what's seen through the eyes
Hidden in the print so fine that lies written in line after line
To vent is one thing but to process is another, it starts with ourself
I don't think I need to remind you, that words are powerful, especially the ones you say to yourself
Some of my best conversations were with myself, but this isn't something I can beat by myself
Because if I could stop this nonsense stuck on my conscience
I promise I would've, believe me, this enemy is one that has defeated the strongest
But together, with courageous steps we take alongside one another
Addiction, heartbreak and pain can all be defeated
But believe me, when I say only together
About the Creator
Josh Morgan
Personally, writing began as a creative outlet, to be a means of processing and venting emotion, but it has become so much more. Something I want not to be just relatable, enjoyable and a good read, but to reach someone who is in need.

A Story To Tell Pt.2: A Step Forward
A setting in which I'm letting people in, to the part of my life that for so long I've been protecting Quite unsettling, but nothing in comparison to the secret I've been wrestling Scary, to see my enemy staring me right in my eyes- he's testing me A step that's necessary on the only path that can lead me to victory Victory over the unfairness in a fight in which my enemy knows all of my history And will use it against me, but with my new found awareness in his ability My enemy, no more will he be resting in his confidence to continue besting me My enemy- "he prowls around like a roaring lion," with a strategy- Simply seeking to turn my life into a tragedy But now with someone helping me, I'm no longer lost in the dark I can see now, that there's a way out No more am I throwing darts full of doubt What I'm writing about, here and now is a step forward A step towards, the future I need to pursue Instead of chasing pleasure in an infinite loop of Déjà Vu In warfare that's spiritual, my opponent is not of this world In a war that's unfair its important to- Find someone, to whom I can stay true Someone who's been through the same and together, To bear burdens with one another, and survive any weather The first step is always the hardest, but on the farthest of journeys- There's no question on whether or not it'll be necessary But one that's currently holding so many back, from something that's so much better Just a few steps in and with a story to tell I'm not looking back Believe me when I say, that my story is one to tell, and written so well within this victory letter
