Stay Alive

Withstand the wrath of nature, 
Weather the storm or typhoon; 
After the rains of danger, 
The bright sunlight will shine soon.

Keep your head above water, 
Letting the craft of hope float; 
The deluge will just taper, 
The waves will not crush your boat.

Endure the pain, hurt, and ache
Deep inside your mind and heart; 
There are chances you can take, 
To make depression depart.

Step out off the verge or brink, 
Keep away from the threshold; 
Walk away from risky sink, 
Fall not into grave so cold.

Avoid succumbing to woe, 
Let not your true faith perish; 
After the winds of breach blow, 
The misery will vanish.
