Not Alone

For anyone who feels afraid in darkness
Like the world itself could swallow you with just one more shattered moment
You who are fearful of what may come
And cannot shed the skin of what was
You are not alone
The army is strong, its people many
Who fight the same struggle you bare
In different strains it manifests
But the same result remains
Suffering and pain lie in wait
But do not accept this
Not as destiny, punishment, or fate
For you, who you are
Who you have yet to be
It is all of value and the greatest worth
You have great worth
My friend
I was told by someone I love
Yesterday is dead, so live for right now
And to that I say AMEN
Cheers to your beauty
Cheers to your heart and strength
You are here
You have purpose
And you are not alone
