Elucidating Questions

As long as you don’t give up

That’s what matters

You fall down as many times as you do

Getting back up only proves you have something in you worth fighting for

And growth?

As long as it comes it doesn’t matter how much you have to fight for it

Because you keep fighting for it

Each low feels like a new low

But it’s only because you reached far enough out of the hole to fall back in

Sometimes this world doesn’t feel worth fighting for

Not because she isn’t, but because they aren’t

Beautiful bead in the ocean of night

Illuminated by a single flame

If we simplified it may be easier to see reason

But it’s all irrelevant

Every day you wake up is one more day you didn’t give up

Even if you spent it in bed

You still faced the darkness and said, No, one more day

Thank you for taking the easiest course of action

Which is inaction in this case

It’s a lot harder to die than they think it is

It’s also a lot easier

Living in the face of suicide is one of the only fights that requires you to do nothing

I’ll tell you now how hard that nothing is

Sometimes it feels as empty as the act itself

But it also takes a certain kind of strength to keep on going in spite of it

A strength some people will never know

They think we’re weak, but I guarantee if they switch brains with any of us they wouldn’t last a day

If your act of resistance is simply not dying, I see you

If your act of resistance is being a problem to those who want to destroy this planet, I see you

No matter how many times you have to face down the Nothing and claw your way back again

Getting up just proves you have a strength no one will ever truly comprehend
