You Are Alive

I want you to listen to me
Really pay attention to my words:
Crying does not make you weak
Feeling pain only makes you human.

Tears roll down your cheeks freely
I say let them fall
No use in bottling up your fears
That only makes them stronger

Let everything out,
Every demon and every ghost,
Free the skeletons in your closet
Scream if you have to

There is nothing wrong with you,
Everyone experiences hard times
It's the getting through it that makes you strong.

You are the bravest person I've met
And I'm not letting you give up now.
The air carresses your skin
It does the same to me.

We aren't that different,
You and I,
Though you see beauty in nothing
And I see beauty only in you.

You say I mean the world to you,
Well, if I am a planet
That makes you my sun
The centre of my universe.

You are alive and don't you think that's the best thing you could be?
