Stand Tall

I know life can be rough, 

and that it can get to the point where you stop and say 

“that’s enough” 

stop wanting to go on, but listen up. 

Be strong, if anyone can it’s you. 

You have people that care, and an amazing future in queue. 

Sometimes the darkness can be overwhelming, 

cause your vision to become skewed, 

but promise me you’ll do all in your power to break through, 

cause those negative thoughts can be subdued, 

don’t let them cloud your views. 

At the end of every dark alley there’s an opening, 

a new path, a new group of choices. 

Sometimes there’s a blockade, a fence, an attempted stop in your way.

 Doesn’t have to be though, there’s always a way over, 

so it’s up to you whether or not you stop halfway. 

I beg you not to, beg you to push past it, 

because nowhere is there a sign that says to obey, 

to sit there in dismay on that dark path of disarray. 

Don’t be the darkness’s prey. 

Nope, life’s a free for all my friend. 

A bad day isn’t the end, 

it’s all about how heavy those negative thoughts weigh.

No reason for sadness, you’ve got a friend to extend a hand,

 to pull you away from that bitter end. 

Pull you away from that distressing trend. 

I’ll walk down that dark path right beside you, stick with you around every bend. 

Always visible? Maybe not, 

but I’m there, forever a part of you. 

Both in mind, and in your heart.
