advice from the mystic poet

For John Sheppard

John

don't give up

carry on

hold on tight

don't let go of your life

don't let your demons devour you

remember this...

your life is a story

birth is the beginning of your book

but your future is the end

your legacy must go on

live on for those

who couldn't take life anymore

and ended up

ending their life's story too soon

I need you to make it

to survive

to thrive

vent through a form of creativity

this earth is wilting

don't die off too

without making it through

you are my friend

remember that

even if I don't know you that well

but you still are
