breathe
Don't leave
your heart still beat
I know you feel weak
But you are strong
What you're thinking isn't wrong
It's okay to be sad
It's okay to be mad
It's okay to feel what you feel
but what you feel is very real
You feel like someone's choking you, grabbing a hold of your throat.
whispering of menacing things into your ear, that you can't cope.
You want to listen
You want to die.
But you can't die
Because you're valuable.
You're capable.
You can do good things.
You can see what your life has to bring.
You can learn to understand yourself more.
Maybe you didn't understand before,
But you'll soon one day understand how to get up off the floor.
How to lift yourself up again
I know it's not easy to explain
But you can make it.
Yes, you can.
Don't tell me differently.
It may not ever be easy
But breathe
Breathe for me, please.
