I know it's hard to keep your head up
I know the waves drag you down
I know that it's hard to swim
Trust me I've almost drowned
Time and time and time again
Time and time and time again I've found-
The light deep within
Agony and pain may fill your lungs,
Fear and hate may cloud your vision,
Voices and screams may ring in your ears,
I know, I know, I know.
I'd tell you it's gonna be okay, but I also know that's not what you want to hear.
You need stability, you need comfort, you need assurance that you aren't a monster.
Sometimes you may feel this is your only escape
Trust me
It isn't
This isn't an escape, only a darker prison.
And worse-
With this act you aren't the only one who shall be chained and dragged into the deep.
You aren't the only one effected.
Don't let go.
They still need you.
They still want you.
They still love you.
They still care.
Because they are truly your famILY.
They are truly your friends.
They are truly your loved ones.
They want to make amends.
Don't leave them to this fate, they will only follow you.
Don't let the waters into your lungs, they won't help you escape your dues,
Trust me.
There isn't peace without war.
And war hasn't ever let go without casualties.
We still need you.
Don't let go.
Keep swimming,
We love you so.
The tides may try to drag you under, the waters may seem to call-
But we still scream your name, and beseech your return to us all.
