What do you do?
When the fire fades
And you’re left with ashes
When the sun goes down
And you're left with cold
What do you do?

When each day's a task
That just gets harder
And forgetting to live
Becomes easier
What do you do?

When nothing goes right
But everything goes wrong
When you're left alone
And consumed by thought
What do you do?

When running seems best
But fear overtakes you
When giving in is a choice
But you're not prepared
What do you do?

When you want out
Exhausted with life
Each breath takes effort
And you're losing the fight
What do you do?

When you cry at night
Until there's nothing left
Laying awake and saying a prayer
That you'll never wake up
What do you do?

When you have a plan
An escape from here
But consequences
That must follow
What do you do?

When your mind hates itself
And takes it out on you
What can you do...
Wrote this after a 3 week writers block, not my greatest work but might hit home for alot of people.
