Stay Strong

Stay Strong” they tell you but they don’t seem to understand. You stayed strong for as long as you could And now you’re letting go It’s like when we’re little kids Playing in the jungle gym Swinging on the monkey bars Going from one another Holding on for as long as we can. But what happens when you can’t hold on much longer? You start to lose your grip Palms are sweating Putting in all your force Just one more bar And then you’re done But before you reach that last one You fall to the ground “Stay strong you’re almost done” If only it was that easy Holding on by just one hand My palms are slowly sliding There’s no more energy in me To keep and trying to stand strong I’m sorry I keep trying But this journey is so long I rather let myself go now And fall into dispair Instead of holding on much longer When there’s obviously no hope I kept on fighting for to long But this time I’m just done. - V.L
