Things won't be depressing forever...

Living in the dark

Voices crowding my mind

Walls crushing in

I’m living in a dark place

But I’m not going to let you break me.

~

Will my feelings die here?

Will I question everything about life now?

This heartache is going to take me.

I won’t let it break me.

Scream out,

Let the emotions out.

~

And then breathe

You can’t drown every day

The water won’t be overwhelming all the time.

Take in the sunlight,

Take in a breath of air

And remember that everything will be okay.

~

Reach out

There will be a hand reaching back to help pull you out of the depts of heartache.

There will be someone there

To remind you that you are loved

You are appreciated

You deserve to live.

~

I let the darkness in

But I won’t let it break me

Let the light in

Remember that it’s okay to live.
