A letter to anyone struggling
This is a song for the broken-hearted
Who’s lives were ended before they had started
Shuffling through your schedule
Your eyes are empty and your brain is full
Of all these thoughts
That you’d really ought
To give up.
This is a song for the broken-hearted
Who wish that they had their lives charted
Uncertain of where the next step may lead
It’s all they have not to plead
Not to cry, not to bleed
Not to listen to the voices telling them to give up
This is a song for the broken-hearted
For the people whose thoughts have darted
Just out of reach
And they can’t breach
The precipice of their own mind
Trying desperately to bind
Words and fragments into phrases
Spending their days in hazes
All they can hear is the voice telling them to give up
My heart goes out to all of the hurting
All of those who spend their free time flirting
With death, and hate
Who subjugate
Themselves to their alien fears
Broken nightmares
Don’t worry my dears
I promise that you are not broken
Listen to the words I have spoken
You deserve to shine like the sun
Know that you have won
You’ve beaten your demons so far.
Please. Never give up.
