Closed mouths don’t get fed

Books don’t get read to those who are dead

You don’t make memories if you forget to live

And poets can’t write, when darkness swollows them whole

There are reasons to stay alive

There are reasons to find the light

There are reasons to stay

There are reasons

What would the world be

Without your gorgeous smile

And the dimple on your cheek

What would the world be

Without your writing

And your laughter filled with glee

What would the world be

Without your mistakes

And your triumphs

What would the world be

If you gave up

And stopped trying harder

There are reasons to stay

Not just alive

But present and well

I am in no place myself

To say

“suck it up”

Words i would never utter

When life gets so tough

I will say

Even when its rough

It gets better i promise

There is a light at the end of the tunnel

But if you don’t see it

You just have to turn to someone

Who will help you find it
