what they didn't realize

is that fighting

is not the same as killing.

people think i'm successful

because i have a good job

but you're the one who got me here alive

and now you're gone.

i think i've failed.

if you're thinking of dying,

remember.

there are millions of people

just like you

who need someone

just like you.

when death makes no sense,

love.

i told myself,
"what the hell am i doing? this is wrong. so very wrong."

i came back to you and fought.

for the first time in my life.

and for the first time in my life,

i did something right.

and for the first time in your life,

you smiled.

they say that first impressions

are everything.

but last impressions

are what they bring

to the grave.

the guardians were made

for the weak to lean on.

and the rocks were made,

for the soil to rest.

and all the reach of the sky

was crafted

in blue and white threads

for you to be free

if only you seek it.

let the world play.

it's earned its break.
