Avery's Stories

Please Be Brave

Do you know what it's like

To be treated like a queen

Then tossed aside like you mean nothing?

Do you know what it's like

To have to be strong

Then break down and cry all alone?

Do you know how it feels

To be wrongly accused

Of things that you would never do?

Do you know how it feels

To have to act like you're okay

Just when you're about to break?

Have you ever

Felt like you belong

Then it turns out

You were wrong all along?

Have you ever been pushed aside

And felt deep down that you wanted to die?

Would you tear yourself apart

So you would feel no pain?

Would you be willing to risk

The loss of everything

Just for a moment of bliss?

Do you suffer from monsters inside your head

That won't let you have any rest?

Have you been on the edge of a knife,

Torn between death and life?

Would you, if asked to choose,

Choose the bittersweet ending,

Instead of living a new beginning?

Life's tough, but we can be tougher!
Don't give up, don't give in. Give it your all!
I know life's hard sometimes, and you might feel like everything is crumbling around you, but please don't needlessly throw away your life. I saw a quote that said:

"You're skin is not paper. Don't cut it. Your face isn't a mask. Don't hide it. Your size isn't a book. Don't judge it. Your life isn't a film. Don't end it."

Please listen to these words. I don't know what you're going through, and I can't always relate, but there is someone out there who loves you. Giving up is easy, living is tough. But each day you live on is a day that you're brave. So please be brave.
