Author S. K. Nicholas

 

don’t let the days

bring you down

don’t let the hate in your heart

drag you beneath the surface

where the waves ride high

above your head,

when there’s so much sadness

pumping through your veins

with things going wrong

at every opportunity

it makes it all seem

so impossible,

words that never come

and a silence that

takes hold completely

no sense of release

no way of letting go,

don’t hate yourself  though

don’t think you’re weak because you

struggle and stumble

when others walk on by

because it won’t always be like this

nothing lasts forever

not even time,

through the loneliness and pain

and the days when to just

open your eyes

seems like too much

keep the light inside burning,

even when the war within

makes it feel as though everything is

caving in around you

keep on going,

because the only way out

is through
