you are not alone

If I could scream this from the rooftops and reach you, I would do it in a heartbeat.

I would tell you that you have it all back­wards – that you don’t have to prove your worth to a soul oth­er that than yours, the world should be proud to have you.

There is so much that I could tell you. Some­times the words spill out and I have to put it in a poem, oth­er times the words slip them­selves un­der my tongue – there but just out of reach.

I just want to say thank you. Thank you for be­ing brave, self­less, and strong when you feel like you can’t be any­thing at all. Thank you for choos­ing to stay.

It’s #na­tion­al­sui­cide­pre­ven­tion­week
I just want to re­mind every­one how dif­fi­cult it is to seek help for your­self, no mat­ter how big your safe­ty net is to fall into.
 

Please
take a minute
to stop,
to breathe

Give your­self
a moment
to feel okay,
to feel alive

I promise you
that this pain,
this  e m p t i n e s s
it will come
but it will
also go

You may wake
one day
with a hurricane
of a heartbeat

And you may
car­ry yourself
through that day
with seashells
in your toes,
salt on your tongue

But if you
just keep walking

You’ll get the chance
to feel the seashells
turn to sand,
lis­ten to the wind,
to see the sun set

And it may not be
the most beau­ti­ful beach
you have ever seen
or the purest moment
you can re­mem­ber

But there is
so much beauty
in the way
that you
got your feet
to trav­el there

You,
my love,
have so much
strength inside
of your palms
I just need you
to feel it your­self

But first,
I need you
to stop squeezing
your first every time
you can’t remember
how to  b r e a t h e

One day
you will realize
your ability
to sur­vive
is only
the beginning

I promise you
my love,
you can learn
what it’s like
to want to live
