Don’t Give Up on Me

A million stumbles, a million falls,
A heart that falters, a spirit calls.
I fight the darkness, claw at the light,
Though shadows cling with all their might.

Don't count the failures, the bruises deep,
The battles lost where sorrows weep.
See the flicker, the spark within,
The restless yearning, the fight to win.

I stumble often, I lose my way,
The path is tangled, the future gray.
But still I rise, with weary grace,
To face the dawn, to find my place.

So please, dear friend, don't turn away,
Don't judge the struggle, the fading day.
Don't let the darkness claim my soul,
Believe in me and make me whole.

For though I falter, I will not yield,
My spirit's fire will not be sealed.
Don't give up on me, hold fast your hand,
And watch me rise upon this shifting sand.

To my friends or family members who have close one fighting against mental health or drug abduction.)
