No one should have to be the reason that someone stays in this world
Even if they made you see colors brighter
And breathe lighter.

No one should have to pack your problems in their backpack along with the rocks of their own and carry you the whole way
Up this mountain that is life.

If they left, If they've passed,
if they just messed up and it's all over now
Then there is no reason for you
to go up to the roof and ignore that beautiful night sky,
just to jump off an edge that might make you feel
like flying for those few seconds.

There is not an exception.
If you knew love then
Then you can know love now.

You don't have to love yourself
but at least find something that is not as fleeting as a human.
Find your peace
In books or in sun
Or maybe even rain.
Because you're not someone else's responsibility to carry
even though they loved you.
That is not love.
That
Is Lazy.
Get up and Live
