Life need not have to be so difficult that every day seems hard to bare,
times do not have to be so hard that you have tears rolling down your face,
happiness does not have to be so out of reach that you want to give up on trying to find it,
love does not have to be so far away that you will never know it’s warm embrace.
Your mind does not always have to feel like a prison that you wish to be free from every day,
you do not have to feel frustrated and overwhelmed by nagging doubt,
you do not have to keep all the thoughts that rattle round your brain locked inside,
if there are things that you want to say then speak them aloud and let them out.
You are deserving of help and care just as much as anybody else,
you do not have to suffer in silence without others willing to hear your voice,
you do have people that want to know you and help you to feel that you matter,
you do have value and the right to be happy and you are cared about and you do have a choice.
