For whoever needs this today...

I know that you’re tired

I know you’re afraid

I know you’re regretting the choices you’ve made.

I know how you cry when you’re losing your hope

I know that you’re right at the end of your rope.

I know you feel lonely, don’t know where to turn

I know there are things you wish you could un-learn.

Afraid to be silent, but too scared to shout,

Your mind is a prison and there’s no way out.

I know that you’re thinking there’s so much you lack.

I know that you’re lost and can’t find a way back.

I know that you’re doubting the future you’ll find;

You long for the happiness that you left behind.

I know there’s no joy in waking each day

When your smile and your laughter are slipping away.

I know that your plans and your dreams are a mess.

I know you have fears that you try to suppress.

Your heart has been tossed from pillar to post;

You’ve buried the things that matter the most.

You can’t look at yourself, scared of what you might see;

I know that you’re not where you wanted to be.

You’re exhausted, you’re sad, you don’t know what to do

I know how you feel. I’ve been there too.

Just take a deep breath and keep holding on tight

One day, I know, you’ll return to the light.
