That moment when you're just too worn out to try
That moment when your spirit feels like it hasn't slept in days
When it feels like its been beaten and run over by a steam roller
That moment when you just feel you can't go on any longer
That moment when you feel alone and abandoned and like you can't call anyone because it's late
And you don't want to wake anyone
That moment where you just want to lay under the covers and never come out
That moment where you wish you could cry into someone's chest
Instead of your damp pillow
That's when you learn
About endurance
Emotional, spiritual, psychological endurance
That's when you learn that yes, there will be moments like this, days like this
But you can't let those moments define who you are
You can't let those moments take over your life and you can't just lay there
Hoping someone will read your mind and call you, they won't
But if you call they will pick up the phone
And they may not be there with you in person
But their spirit will take you in their arms and hold you as cry and lay there broken
Because that's what true friends do for one another
And with their help, you will find a way to get through it
To move forward
Even if it's one baby step at a time
Even if it's on your hands and knees
You will get through it

And so in that moment
In those moments where you feel like you can't go on
Keep going
Endure, if only long enough to
Reach out
You're not alone
