I can't make you feel something you won't

But perhaps I can make you see

all the things you would miss

The reasons to breathe.

Like the sun setting at the end of the day.
Your favorite song,
or your best friend making you feel okay.

Sometimes life is hard
and it's hard to see past,
all the tears, the lies and the hurt
but I promise you it won't last.

Just keep breathing
and carry on
and I promise if you need me
I'll be there to help you stay strong.

Just take a deep breath,
close your eyes
and feel your heart beating in your chest.
And that's another reason to breathe.

I could write for hours
convincing you of this,
but your life is yours
and every day is a gift.

The reason is simple:
there's no one quite like you.
and maybe you feel the world wouldn't care.
But I promise someone would miss you.

You can take a day,
and let yourself cry
don't let anyone mock you
or tell you otherwise.

Let yourself feel your emotions
and pick yourself back up.
Stand up, you've got this.
And you're more than enough.
