When times are hard and at their worst
When you feel as if you’re going to burst
You feel as if things can only get worse
You want to lay down and give in
You have the desire to quit, let the struggle all end.
You feel there is no end to your pain and strife.
You want to take the easy way out and end your life.
What do you do to win the fight?
Between you and yourself, death and life?
Nothing, until you decide to win the fight.
For if you give up, you lose the fight.
You will surely lose your life.
So no matter how hard the struggle becomes,
Keep up the fight, find the strength to go on.
It will get better, somewhere down the road.
You’ll find a way to lighten your load.
The sun will rise, the sun will set.
Don’t give up the struggle just yet.
You’ll be a better person for you’ll have defeated the doubt.
You’ll live to learn what life is all about.
In the end it will all be worthwhile.
You don’t believe me now but soon you shall.
As has often been said, “This too will pass”.
When it does you’ll find true happiness.
The greatest of all gifts is love.
To be loved you must first rise above,
All of your negative thoughts on life.
Love yourself and look towards the light.
