The days

There will be times
Where nothing will hold back the tears
And the food in your stomach will rumble 
And fight to make its way out of your body
And there will be times
Where you will sit there with puffy eyes
In utter numbness 
As your muscles grow weak
And your body grows fatigue
And there will be days 
Where no one else can save you 
Even if it feels like your whole world is coming to an end
And sometimes people will never understand 
But our only option in those times is to stay
To stay quiet
To stay calm
To stay strong
And to just keep holding everything together
Even if life is saying 'Just give up'
There will be days when everything in the world feels like a force field against you
But you still have to be thankful 
That your heart is still beating
And that there is still air in your lungs
And that you've still got blood rushing through your veins
Because as much as the pain hurts
It means that you are still alive 
-m.c.-
 
You are still alive
