Hold
On
Pain
Ends

Your best friend might cut her skin,
And you don't know about it.
Your girlfriend might be starving herself,
And you don't know about it.
Your boyfriend might cry himself to sleep, 
And you don't know about it.
Your sister might be thinking of killing herself,
And you don't know about it.
Your brother might drink too much,
And you don't know about it.
There is just so much you don't know.

If I am lost, find me, but do not ask me to come back just yet. Sit with me in this lost place and maybe you will understand why I come here too often, what draws me to my Neverland. Find me, but bring me back when I am ready. Maybe you will get to know me a little better. Maybe we can get lost together.

It feels like everyone else is moving on with their lives while I'm stuck here. In this hole that I can't get out of. No matter how hard I try to get out, I only seem to make the hole deeper. So I stopped trying in hopes that someone I love will come back and throw me a rope. I'm still waiting.

The girl you just called fat? She is overdosing on pills.
The girl you just called ugly? She spends hours putting on makeup  hoping someone would like her.
The boy you just tripped? Is getting abused at home.
The man with the ugly scars? He fought for his country.
The guy you made fun of for crying? His mother is dying.

You have me. Until the last star in the galaxy dies. You have me.
