Long Days and Lonely Nights

The day seems so long
When night falls you are all alone
You have had enough
Remember this is life so hang on
You must never let yourself go
You may act so meek
People from the past do not recognize you
You cannot be weak 
Because all people hurt
You must be strong 
And carry on in this life 
Everybody feels pain sometimes
It feels like everything seems to go wrong
You must build the strength to move along
When your day is filled with depression 
A feeling you never thought was possible 
Alone you stare at your reflection 
Sometimes feeling like letting go 
It seems like it would be so much easier 
You've had so much of this life 
Stay strong 
You must hold on
Remember that everyone feels strife
With no comfort in your friends
None of them remain 
It hurts and there is no one left to talk to
Just remember that everything ends
Don't let your life go
It might hurt your mind 
Thinking about what is and what was 
Never waste your time contemplating 
How it should be 
Live life how it turned out 
No one thought you could make it this far
You made them all see
Turning out to be a shining star
Don’t be afraid to shout
If you are on your own
It seems like you are alone
Remember what you could find
The days are very long
The nights are never kind 
When you think you've had too much
Of this life to hang on
You must be strong 
Stay sane and never lose touch 
Through these days 
Even if you may be wrong
It is hard to look at yourself at night 
But you can never give up this fight
