Reaching Out

I spend so much time Wondering about what could've been Thinking about the what ifs And the possibilities Had things been different But they weren't and here I am Still can't believe I'm here After everything I went thru All those who came and went Throughout my life It's something I got use to But what I didn't expect Was the hold some people had Something I'd never known It wasn't something I was familiar with So when the time come I didn't know how to handle it Some I didn't mind But then there were others They turned out to be a whole lot harder I had to face trials and tribulations I wasn't sure I was strong enough for But then I came to find That each and every time I learned a little something new Before I never really thought it thru But everyone that’s been a part of my life Has molded me into who I am today And I have come to believe in that young lady So many people have doubted me But I learned to stop I learned to embrace the real me Cuz at the end of the day I have loved with all my heart I have been a true friend To many whom have not done the same I have met some I wish I hadn't Fallen for those I wish I'd never met And had my heart broken More times than I care to count I have believed in those Who have betrayed me But along the way I became stronger I became smarter I learned so many things Like to give love another try To trust until given a reason not to But most importantly I learned to trust in me Not to change who I am for anyone That if someone doesn’t love me for me Then hey no need to keep them around Deep down I found courage Along the way All these things I came to see So for anyone out there Feeling pretty low Know that someone has been where u are Knows what you're going thru But I am here to say Don't give up Even when u may be at your worst There's a reason to fight More than there is not to No matter what life may throw your way U are much stronger than u think u are And u can get back up U can make it thru what you're facing Though u may not know it U really aren't alone Don't be afraid to ask for help It doesn’t make u weak In fact it takes more courage To admit u need help To say u can't get thru this alone Take a minute and close your eyes Take a deep breath And tell yourself you're gonna be ok Reach out to a friend Tell them how u really feel Write a journal Start a project Remember the people and things u love But no matter what u do Or even how u do it Don’t give up on life And Don't Give Up On Yourself!!!!
