Have you looked at the mirror and seen yourself laugh?
When was the last time you actually had a genuine laugh?
Have you wiped someone's tears and felt their grief?
Have you taken the courage to comfort someone and say the right thing for once?
Have you tried to stop a friend from doing drugs and swallowing pills?
Have you stayed on the phone and hear someone's breathing till they fell asleep?
Have you encouraged a friend or a stranger recently?
Have you sat down and heard someone share their day?
The parts where they tell you how they messed up and regretted what they did.
The parts where they sit down and chew their last bit of a sneakers bar they kept when they had sad days?
The part where they bite their nails and shake their heads in hesitation to tell their crippling thoughts
The thoughts that may or may never bring you closer to them
The parts where they are just tired of complaining an dealing with reality
The parts where they sometimes dont have a clue what they're doing
But wouldn't it be nice someone telling them they are doing just fine?
To tell them to Keep moving on,is as simple telling a child to stop crying when he lost his favorite toy.
But aint it harder if you were in his shoes.
But every lonely night
They sit there wondering what they could have done right and how to deal another day being wrong and settling for a "okay , im fine kinda day.
