Up and Down
Whenever you feel like things are going your way
When you feel happy and nothing can bring you down
Then you receive news that crushes you
It can be a death, losing a job, or debt
But it's always waiting around the corner
Waiting to rear it's ugly head
It wants to bring you down
It hates happiness, feeling safe, calm
It wants you to drag yourself into the darkness
Close the doors, barricade everything out
Prepare to lose your mind
Your heart
Your soul
Your life
What is this thing I speak of, you ask?
Life
Life isn't fair
No matter how hard you work
No matter how many bones you break
How many bruises you receive
How much you put into work
It Takes EVERYTHING
It feels like you can't anymore
That's when the thought of suicide creeps in
Letting go...
Freeing yourself from the pain
The anxiety you feel is tremendous
The depression is multiplied tenfold
The anger off the charts
How could it get any worse?
But don't think any of that
Work A Thousand times harder than before
Find happiness again
Unblock those doors
Tear down those walls
Unlock your heart
And let people in
Tell anyone how you feel
People care
Others understand your struggle
Whether they have gone through it or not
They have words of wisdom
The care
The shaking will be unbelievable
Unstoppable
Almost never ending
The depression will get worse
almost too much to bear
The anger will make you want to destroy everything and anything
You have the tools
Just do it
But you have to push this out of your mind
Don't give into the temptation
The those thoughts to FUCK RIGHT OFF
YOU ARE STRONGER THAN THIS
YOU ARE BETTER
SMARTER
YOU ARE THE BEST
Never give up
Never fold your hand
Never say it's impossible
Nothing is impossible
You can do anything you put your mind to
Always remember
You are not alone
We all understand
We are here to help
YOU ARE LOVED
