i know youre tired;
youre overwhelmed
and youre stressed
and the pieces arent
quite falling into place
and things don't
exactly seem okay.
and maybe youre
thinking things won't
get better-
you believe that
what you are feeling
and how you are dealing
will always stay the same-
that you'll never change
cause youre past
wont fade away
from the thoughts
devouring youre peace
and you are in shambles;
in tiny pieces scattered
about and you are fighting
for the last bit of sanity
that you arent sure you
have left.
but let me tell you this;
you are surviving.
maybe you won't make it
in the way you think
or the way they think
and maybe things will
change but change for the worse before they change for the best
and maybe nothing will
go your way
and your heart
saturated with pain
will break and break
and break -
but maybe
you will be okay.
live day by day.
there's nothing wrong with
living that way.
keep breathing
keep bleeding
even while the wound is
stinging;
the ache proves that
you are healing.
you may fall flat on your
face-
but at least you are falling
f o r w a r d.
