“Escape the Struggle”


Just let me say
That living in hiding is not the way.
Just because you think you’re trapped in darkness everyday
Is no reason for wanting to die.

Hopelessness: a temporary struggle in our lives.
You can escape it.
All you have to do is try.

It will take some time though.
It doesn’t happen overnight.
But remember this:
Stars shine bright on the other side of the sunlight.
Darkness has its beauty, too.
So while you’re a shadow, make it through.
Have fun with who you are!
And you’ll escape!
And you’ll go far!
