Times of pain,
Though seemingly eternal,
Eventually,
Like all things,
Come to an end.

Look into my eyes;
They still have that same spark,
I still keep trying,
Even if I feel like dying,
There will be a time,
Some time,
When I am at peace with my demons.

Though I find it hard to believe,
And others such as myself,
There may just be a future waiting there,
If you keep going,
And go meet it.

Don't forget who you are,
Because you are so much more than this pain,
You can concur it,
Maybe one day look back,
Filled with pride of what you overcame.

Please, just don't stop fighting,
Just don't give up,
There could be so much more,
If you just give it a chance.
