I know the pain
Is exhausting
A path ahead
seems impossible
But a flashlight
Is on its way
And it’s
*SO BRIGHT*
You will find
The most beautiful places
wait ahead
for you
You will meet
The kindest hands
To hold you
The kindest hearts that
love you
Exactly as you are
You are so worthy
Of everything grand
That this life
Has to offer
You are beautiful
And perfect
You will trip and fall
But you will also rise
Higher than you
ever thought
Was possible
You are not small
You are not weak
A label or diagnosis
Couldn’t never, EVER
Touch *all that you are.*
Keep fighting
For the peace and care
That you deserve!
You deserve the moon
And the stars
To shine on you
Tell someone
Please, tell someone
Tell us and
We will meet you
With our lanterns
We have been there
We know the darkness
We can help guide you
*You are not alone*
We are all fighting
With you
And for you.
Hang on,
*Warrior.*
you look happy and you have a wonderful smile.

I didn’t realize that was a thing. Though I keep hearing about attempted suicides in my community. As a survivor I feel like I should do something. Hard to know when it is too soon though. I love this post and your other junk too. So I put you as a link on my goof around blog. 🙂

“We will meet you, With our lanterns” If this was the only line that I had a chance to read, then it would still say everything. I’ll admit I was having a bad day but this was like the biggest hug in the universe. Thank you for writing this.

Beautiful! When someone supports me, and other people like me who struggle every day and have to pretend we don’t just to suit other people who don’t understand or don’t want to understand, it is a beautiful thing and the poem is spot on!

So true, candy! It’s brave to ask for help, and it’s brave to help someone in that dark place and say- I’ve been there before, too.

I didn’t know about this day. As a survivor I would have done nothing anyway but still. Tomorrow I am speaking at a church thing to people who lost someone to suicide. I feel sick to my stomach.

Wow. How did the church talk go? That is so brave. I get stomachache about just sharing online! It’s so hard to go there and be vulnerable.
