Don’t quit

Even when all the papers around you have nothing good to say but don’t run and hide either.

But stand and fight for now, for the light is pushing back that darkness that’s kept you hidden.

They worried about the wrong things and didn’t see you drowning in the darkness.

Even though you tried to get them to see it day and night, they just pushed you away.

But they swear they want to see you happy, but they never know when you are not.

So don’t pretend but don’t give up either.

Just look around and see if you see someone else who mirrors you and says to them, I see you, and I feel you.

Don’t let them quit; you know you were never alone, just looking in all the wrong places and people.
