I'm Still Dreaming

Suffering

It isn't the hopelessness that breaks people, 
Or the self-loathing, 
Or the pain. 

It is the world whispering in your ear
That what you are feeling is alien, 
It's not. 

It's not wrong or abnormal, 
It's human. 

And to be human is to heal, 
So hold the delusions of hope to your heart
When the sky grows dark. 

You are not alone, 
Not in the pain. 

And while your suffering is unique, 
You are not unique because you suffer. 

So never forget that you will rise again.
