It Gets Better

I know it's hard,
I know it hurts,
but believe me,
you're not alone.

You're never alone,
because you'll always have me,
and you'll always be able to call,
because I love you.

Yes, I love you.
From the depths of my heart,
I love each and every one of you,
and I won't let you give up.

So put down that gun,
take off that noose,
step away from that ledge,
and remember just how strong you are.

I fucking love you,
don't leave like this!
You mean too much
to let their hate destroy you.

Come here and let me hold you,
let me pet your hair and brush away your tears.
Let me rub your back and rock you to sleep
while I whisper, "It gets better."

Because it really does,
and you don't even have to wait that long.
Stand up with me, up against the hate,
and make a fucking difference.

Don't let yourself become another statistic!
Don't end your life because they told you to!
Just hold your head high and take my hand,
and scream out loud just what you are.

You are a human, and you are beautiful.
