Hope

Loneliness

We've all felt it

All been there

Sometimes it feels like it steals away my breath

How does one go on when

Every breath is a chore

When even a casual comment

Means something else to the one who receives it

When tears blind us to sight

And reason is a lifetime or a light year away

Nights are the hardest

When we're alone with our thoughts

Of what could have been

If only

But wait

I am stronger than this

I will find myself in the darkest night

Pull through not only for myself but those lost in the dark with me

For I know that the sun will rise tomorrow

I will face the day with my head held high

You cannot bring me down

For I am made of sterner stuff

I will make a new world for myself and those who stand with me

A world where we can all be ourselves without fear

A better world where night is celebrated as a close to a beautiful day

When we open our hearts, love will follow

Love will always be stronger than hate

If we stand together then we are never truly alone

Stand with me, united in love and understanding

Living starts with a choice

Choose to live happily under your terms

Those who truly care for you will follow suit
