Some days weigh on you
like a load of bricks,
so heavy you can't stand it.
The crushing weight
making you wish
you could just let go
and stop trying
to hold everything up.
And when one brick falls
from the pile on your shoulders,
three more take its place
the moment you think
things are getting better.
It's not the weight of the world
that is dragging down your soul,
it's the demons in your own head.
They've bled you dry,
you no longer have
the tears to cry.
But now is not the time
to give up,
even if you no longer have
the will to push forward...
there's always a reason to live.
What is your legacy?
Is it enough?
Please, don't give up.
Let the rocks make you stronger—
you can take every pain
that is tossed your way.
Throw those bricks
at everything that stands in your way
from finishing the things
you've started.
The end is near,
sure it is...
but not today
or tomorrow.
Use your time wisely,
what's left.
Let us in.
You are not alone,
and you don't have to carry
those bricks on your own.
