Ugh
I know it was me.
I was too caught up.
I'm sorry.
I need you back.
I know something's wrong,
I'll listen.
You are worrying me.

I now sit here alone.
All alone on this
Dark Earth.
Only hoping that I'll soon
Find my flashlight.
...please come back...

My heart is curious
And my mind has many questions.
Maybe it's time to explore.

I see an abandoned house.
Creepy spider webs and
Creaky floors, but I
Decide to explore.

I take one step and it's
Immediately two back again.
This place is too scary.

I turn around and
Find myself lost.
But it's super fun here.

I'm on a rollercoaster heading up.
AHHHHHHHH!
But this thing is going down.

I'm frightened again.
I start seeing spider webs and
Hear the coaster creek.

What's going on?

Just one more question in my mind...

I can't see.
It's just too dark.
What do you expect
ME to do?
There's no light switch here
And I'm too scared to
Take a single step forward.

But dear,
Can't you see me?
I'm shining light.
Hold my hand and
We will get out of this
Darkness together.


We will never make it.
Look how long the
Journey is.
And see that?
We will never make it
Over that.

Darling, open your mind.
Look just a bit
Farther.
There's a safer way.
See it?
And if you can't get
Through that,
I'll help you over what
Seems to be the problem.
You see, that obstacle is
NOT the problem.
You are.
There are so many ways you
CAN make it over.
And, you will always have my
Light by your side.
So, what's really
Scaring you?


It's too dark.

But I'm right here

But,*

But what?

"Mom! What was that sound?"
"Mom! I hear it. It's coming!"
Worrying.
Afraid.
Out. Of. Control.
Camping.
The worrying about bears.
"I HEAR IT!"
The long nights.
Camping.
All full of terror.
From a bear.
An animal.
None of us have ever come
In contact with.
Has scared us.
Has never hurt us.
And has no intention to.
But, there is a bear.
One that does intend to
Hurt us.
One that thrives on fear.
And there's only one place
That bear lives.
Inside
Ourselves.
Camping?

Darling, I see you.
I understand.
I'm sitting right here.
But look behind me...
Do you see it?
The real world.
Isn't it wonderful?
And scary?
That's life.
Oh, the glorious thunderstorms and
The monstrous rainbows.
Oh, the brightness the moon brings and
The darkness the sun shines.
It's all for you.
Every tear brought your way and
Every smile hidden on your shoulder.
Every flower and
Every thorn.
Every laugh and
Every groan.
Your life is for you.
So, darling, look behind me.
Not in me.
Because my eyes only show the painful truth.
And that's all you just saw.

Sit and think.
When was the last time you smiled?
Well, um...
"Not in a while."

Today's a new day,
And the same with tomorrow.
And you're choosing the
Path of sadness and sorrow?

Sure, it's the easiest,
The one with no thought.
But do you want to go through
And stay in this spot?

Life's an adventure, a game,
So come join in.
We'll do this together
Until the very end.

So let's change
Your mind.
And go down the path
We'll have to find.

The path of happiness,
The most fun of all.
It puts a smile on your face
And makes your worries small.

This will be a new
Challenge to accept.
So just start by
Taking a small step.

Don't stay locked up,
Tell the world who you are.
Once you talk and open wide,
You'll have traveled so far.

Do what makes you happy,
What makes you smile.
And you'll be ready to
Leap in a while.

By now, you
Know it all by heart.
You'll just have to get
Others to start.

Show them a smile,
And faith as well.
And they'll soon join in
And we'll be able to tell.

Your time is ticking.
Life is going on and on.
Join the rest
And smile before it's gone.

Am I not allowed to have my own opinions? Am I not allowed to do what I like? Am I not allowed to be given a chance?

Do I not deserve a chance? Do I not deserve friends? Do I not deserve just one person that will talk and listen to me? Do I not deserve happiness?

Is it bad that I read 13 Reasons Why and wish I was the girl who killed herself? Is it bad that suicide is always on my mind? Is it bad that I want to be found dead in the morning?

Am I not allowed...   To know answers?
Do I not deserve...     To know answers?
Is it bad...                    To know answers?
