Advice for a Half-Broken Teenager

I know life hasn’t been the kindest

And some days

It seems easier to give in

Give up

Lay down

And let it all come to an end

But if I’ve learned anything from life

It is that tears have a way

Of cleansing the soul

Uplifting the heart

So do not be ashamed of the salted waterfalls

That has created well-worn paths down your face

For everyone has troubles

And getting through today

Will make you stronger tomorrow

Your life will not forever be

As it is today

So all I can say

To you and all who have gone what you have

Don't give up

For it gets

So

Much

Better
