Dare yourselves to succeed
Do so non-apologetically
Strive to break from the monotony
In this life to which we now lead

Packed into capacity
A red alert like the blood we bleed
Continue with what now seems bleak
Until we embrace possibility

Depression is now a known disease
That often has gotten the best of me
As I teeter on catastrophe
I still stand tall to fulfill my destiny

Do not bend, do not break
Do it, whatever it takes
To realize all our hopes and dreams
And live our lives as though we please

We’re stronger than we know
Less likely to implode  
Inclined to survive and grow
To face all that is now known

Why we’d break the ebb and flow
Like festered anger about to explode
Held in check, cool relief
Attitude that needs a tweak

We are not perfect, rest at ease
Stay with me, exhale, and breathe
Take your time, plant a seed
And watch it grow into prosperity
