Pain is something we all feel,
At some point down the line.
It can make us want to give up,
But we don't have to this time.

It can make us feel like we're drowning,
Beneath our sea of sorrows.
But what keeps us strong is rising to the surface,
Never forgetting to breathe.

It's okay to ask for help,
If you feel you cannot swim.
The sea of life is treacherous,
And I don't say this on a wim.

The important thing is to never keep these deep emotions bottled up inside.
For one day you may explode like a grenade,
And turn into someone that you do not recognize.

Never be ashamed of being sad, angry or confused,
As that is a part of life.
It is how we turn the pain into positivity,
That helps us overcome our strife.❤
