Don’t give up on yourself
When you think all is lost
Giving up all hope
Is too great of a cost
Sometimes we are awake
Sometimes we are asleep
Never telling ourselves the truth
That we are consciously willing to speak
You might call it denial
Or a self-defense from pain
Self-medicate to escape reality
How far must we fall before we can reach for the sky again?
I’ve had some set-backs
I have also loved others if it’s all the same
Not unlike the Johnny Mandel song Suicide is Painless
There are many who will not refrain
If you are compassionate
Having a willing moral compass to share
Be mindful of the disenchanted
Heal a heart that is woefully bare
