It’s hard

I won’t lie

Especially about something so true

I’ve lost hope

And just like you

I’ve given up

I thought that friendship and love were meant for me

Even with my problems

With my mental struggles

I’d tried to fix it

To find something I’d always longed

But after months

. . . Years of trying

I lost all hope

I wanted to stay in bed

To cry my life away

“I’m a mistake”

I would say

“And if I was meant to be here, I would have already found out why”

I’m losing time

I’m losing everything

By sitting here by giving up

And I don’t want to

I want to try

I want to fly

I want love and friendship

I want a life worth living

So I’m telling you this

Before it’s too late for you

Do something

Don’t give up

Keep going, keep living

Let me tell you

If I could take back my lost time

I would do it in a heartbeat

Don’t make the same mistake I did

Please don’t
