If you must...



When rock bottom is near,
When all isn’t clear,
Weep if you must,
But don’t lose that trust.

For there are roads to travel,
Scenery to marvel,
Friends to make,
Cakes to bake,
Love to share,
Dear ones to care...

But when it’s too hard to bear,
When life isn’t fair,
Don’t smile if you must,
But never lose that trust.

For there are songs to sing,
Bells to ring,
Peaks to reach,
Children to teach,
So much to give,
One life to live.

But then...
I say again,
Cry if you must,
Only to get up and regain that trust.

    1. I never thought about suicide while writing this. But yes, I strongly agree it is the same 'never give up' spirit that we should always hold on to.
