It's been quite awhile
Since I have wrote down
how much you don't SMILE,
how RARE you should frown.

Although you're exhausted,
Keep FAITH and have HOPES.
Even WITH all the losses,
Find POSITIVE slopes.

Time seems APPREHENSIVE,
The PAST seems to hurt.
Life's way gets IMMENSIVE,
Feeling LOWER than dirt.

You ACTUALLY matter,
I want you to KNOW.
Life's mirror would SHATTER
If YOU quit the show.

DON'T feel like you're done.
NEVER think I don't CARE.
You will ALWAYS have someone,
As long as you're SOMEWHERE!
