I need your body & beautiful mind;
Alive & Breathing.  
I struggle to make it moments,
without it consuming me.  
I would do everything I could to make you well.
To make you better... happy... whole.
But I cant. I cant save you.
I would, believe me, I would.
But I don't know how.
& you don't let me. You never let me.
I try. I try so hard & wont stop trying.
Why the f* cant that be enough?
It is enough. You are enough.
You are everything.
Your so ******* stupid.
& I love you.
You asked for suggestions.
Suggestions?!  Are scarce...
Because I'm so helplessly selfish
& I'm so hopelessly human.
I can only give you what I already hold.
The only hopeful **** i've come to know.
...I suggest
You let go of the chains that bind you.
The lies you tell yourself.
The doubt. The worry. The shame. The hate. The fear.
Just let if F
ing go. ALL OF IT.
What is it that sets your heart on fire?
The tiniest spark in your soul,
Can light up the entire world,
Once you stop listening to the racket.
You know, I saw a sparkle in your eyes,
Really may have just been the reflection
From the little lamp on your side table.
But that spark has lit my world, my dreams.
Nothing has been able to smother it.
No matter how the odds have stacked against us.
Follow your heart for once.
F
everyone else heart.  
F
mine too, if that's what it takes.  
Follow your heart.
F
the noise. F the looks from people.
F
the lectures from your family.
F
everything you've ever thought,
if it contradicts your heart.
Sometimes its okay to doubt your doubts,
they only slow you down.
You have a light, follow it.
Dont stop, if it takes time, tons of time, its okay.
If you stand in the light, the time isnt wasted.
Youll get there. Your f
**ing incredible.
