I have something to say to you
Yeah you
The one who is all boohooing
Cheer up if you will
You'll pull through
I know that's something I shouldn't say
Because I know I can't change your worldview
Not like that anyway
I'm just here to let you know that you've got this
Don't let them control you
You know, the voices
If you ignore them
And listen to the ones that are like cheese and ham
Then you'll feel like superman!
...
Yeah, that's a weird way of saying it
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY
right?
Listen to the ones that are positive
Then you'll get out of the abyss
It'll take a quick minute for your scars to heal
But you'll feel alive
Like, actually alive
Then you'll start to realize
And say to yourself
"Wow, thinking about negative things, what a waste of time!"
Then, later on, you'll read this poem again and say
"Wow.. this poem is actually kinda cringy"
Yup, but at least it's giving off good energy
Helping those who really need it
You know, the ones who want to end it

I've been there, but it got better
AND YEAH
PEOPLE SAYING THAT IS ANNOYING
seriously, I get it - but it's true
Don't end it now, you've got a whole life ahead of you
Who knows what awaits when you decide to continue
It could be a large barbecue
You love barbecues
Doesn't that sound wonderful to you?
No?
Well how about you having your own statue
Because you did something great
And you saw that statue
Because you decided to continue

Listen, some might say that  you've got value
When actuality, you're priceless
So don't waste it
And chase your dreams
You may never know
What things you'll  achieve
You know
The things in the future
Where it's brighter

I'm going to be honest here
You've got a choice
So do what thou wilt
And rejoice
But please
Believe in yourself
And you will succeed.
