The Protagonist


you and i...

we are not so differrent.

 

if youre sitting there, 

waiting for your story to end

like a poorly written novel, 

in which the main character 

dies at the end, 

and there is no resolution,

I want to tell you that

 

there is hope for us my dear.

because like any novel

- even a poorly written one - 

 

the protagonist is not alone.

In some way

or shape

or form

they find someone

to lead them out. 

back to the light.

 

and you, 

you beautiful person, 

are the protagonist in your own story.

 

do not lose the hope in your heart.
