If You Can't Fight Them, Run

Everyone's telling you to face your fears.

They tell you it's wrong to run away.

That you have to fight.

And you have to stand up for yourself.

But they don't know,

Just how badly you've already been wounded,

And they can't see the scars.

They can't see this battle raging within yourself.

They're blind and oblivious,

As they continue to push you into battle.

Stay strong.

Be positive.

You're okay.

It's nothing.

It's just all in your head.

Only, it's not. It's not okay.

Stop fighting if you're tired.

And run if you want.

Because it's okay to run away,

Isn't that what you're supposed to do,

When something's trying to kill you?

----

It's okay to ask for help.

Don't forget to smile :) have a lovely day xx
