Succeed

You say that darkness is all that’s left
and no one can save you.
You say that darkness was meant to be
and now its inside of you.
You say that you feel like drowning
and that you can’t swim and resurface.
You say that you’re a disappointment
and think what’s the point if you’ll die anyway.
And I tell you, no,
that darkness isn’t all that’s left
that I can save you
that darkness wasn’t meant to be
and it’s not inside of you.
I say that you’ll have to learn to swim
and that you’ll never be a disappointment.
I say to you, that if you can’t try for yourself
and can’t find meaning in life
then think of the people who love you
and know that we won’t leave your side.

Then you said you can’t,
you can’t stand reality.
You said that you hate yourself
and want to cease to exist.
On the other side of the city
I feel like I’ll scream.
I wanted to scream at you and say no
that you can’t hate yourself
and you can never cease to exist.
I wanted to scream and slap some sense into you
but I knew that I couldn’t
because you needed me,
you needed my support and help.
So I tried to help the best I could
and hopefully my work will pay off for good
for I cannot bare to see you like this
and I cannot bare for you to hurt so much.

I know that you’ll survive,
for you are a survivor.
You’ll exist with power and pride, and look back at me
and remember how I helped you, and stood by your side
from the bottom of my heart
from the tips of my soul
from one side of the world to the other,
I know that you are made it through.
You will succeed
You will succeed.
