When things turn in the wrong direction
And you wonder at what comes next
Afraid of your own reflection
Along with the thoughts inside your head

If the steps that you keep taking
Seem to go on for miles
Do this for your own sake and

~Smile~ 

If you feel you're on you're last leg
And there's not a crutch in sight
With little left except your last breath
And you've been read your final rights

When you feel like nothing can be done
And it's been that way for awhile
Before you give it all up

~Smile~

If you're more than sure you're on a collision course
With a brick wall that knows your name
And you've kept score, with how sore you are
Yet somehow still beg for more of the same

If you're on the edge with little left
And there is clearly no backing out
By now you've read or at least heard what I've said

~Smile~

No
That's fine
Just continue to lie to yourself
I
Don't mind
I've already removed myself
Proof there's still a wealth of self worth hidden in mental health
I take my love from it's urn then place that, empty, back on the shelf
