semicolon

A semicolon is used when a sentence could have ended.
I could have broken but I bended.
So take this broken heart 
See it beat again.
I didn´t let my sentence end
So don´t let your sentence end 
Stop trying to end it because instead of a full stop,
try a semicolon instead.
I Hope you remember that even in ember 
when a flame dies in cold december 
that it can still grow strong
and that a story shouldn´t be too short 
And there is never a too long.
I am sorry for all the pain.
But go trhough hell and own the place.
Remember death is not a race.
So keep going.
Keep writing.
Use a semicolon.
Please keep writing;keep fighting;
No full stop just a semicolon
