Stop.

Listen. 

Breathe. 

 

Everything will be ok-

This isn’t the end,

You have a long life ahead. 

 

Surrounded by darkness-

You fall.

 

No one will catch you,

You have to be strong. 

 

This isn’t your time to go-

This isn’t your time to leave,

This is your time to live. 

 

Your pain will turn to sadness-

Then to despair. 

 

Until finally-

Happiness finds you again,

Breaking all of your walls. 

 

Darkness to light-

Light to hope,

Hope to life. 

 

Put the bottle down-

Spit out all the pills,

Dry your tears. 

 

This isn’t your time to leave,

This is your time to live.
