It Takes Courage

It takes courage to do what you've been doing, love.
Holding on so strong has never been so hard,
But in the lonely nights when you are all that's left,
Remember this: you feel what I have felt.
You're not alone, too many fit the bill,
And most of them survived; they were just like you.
You're strong and you are struggling,
But love, you're not alone.

It takes courage to take the pain and run,
To twist it in your hands like sculpting clay...
From ashes of destruction you will survive, my dear,
You will become the Phoenix we've all been waiting for.
You're only just a kid, your world is much much bigger
Than in reality where it's too small to see...
But trust me, dearest one, it will get better
As soon as you allow yourself to breathe.

You got yourself so broken, no problem I'll bring glue.
You cried those salty rivers about which no one knew...
You tried your hardest, darling to seem invincible,
So it's okay love, you did all that you could.
Now make your conscious choice to be all that you can,
Do not allow the darkness to overcome your heart,
The sun will rise again, and not in black and white.
