I'd be lying if I said I've never been in this position before However; to see you in the same boat, it aches me to the core Frantically running in an attempt to try and hide the fact that you're ill It takes acceptance to reach the next step to healing Some take the tools they're given and use what they've learned to weather out the storm Others bottle up their stress but in due time, their inner light is whisked away It's easier said than done Not everything pans out as we hope but I extend my hand We're growing weaker as we fight continuously with each other and ourselves Together, we can climb out of this pitfall and finally get help Will you let this sickness eat away at every fiber of your being or find strength within yourself to untether your mind from harmful routine? The antidote is in your grasp It could bring you clarity you thought you lacked Sculpting your walls and their foundation, the weight of dismay fragments the layers Watch them plummet before your eyes Reduced to rubbish Some take the tools they're given and use what they've learned to weather out the storm Others bottle up their stress but in due time, their inner light is whisked away It's easier said than done Not everything pans out as we hope but I extend my hand Despite it living inside you, your ailment doesn't define you In your head, you're a lost cause with no sense of direction but I'd never abandon you while in such critical condition I can't sleep while you sit awake by me so anxiously We'll find our peace, just hold tight Please don't give in to complacency There is always light at the end of the tunnel so keep fighting and never give up Overcome your inner demons This is not who you're meant to be You deserve to live your life My friend, stand by me
