My arms support you, your weight on me.
Slipping, swaying, please, oh please.
You hear, dont listen, talk, dont release.
Your pain, it surrounds you.
I just wish you could see, the more you avoid your pain, the more pain you throw towards me.

Guilt, selfishness, redo just for you.
Tossing, turning, just let me in, i can help you.

Denial, acceptance,love, forgive.
Drowning, dwelling in your pain is not moving foward, but traping you in a still, unable to go ahead but a few inches behind.

Let me in, open up, you need me, i care.
Tear down your walls, breathe in fresh clean air.
Soak up the sun, relinquish your distress.
Believe in second chances, cause no matter what you think you deserve the best.

laugh, acheive, strive, leap!
Don’t frown, sway, inhale, or run away.
I love you, wish you would learn to let me help, it’s the best i can do, for what i put you through.

Think, grant,work and live.
The sun is high, hidden, but clear, open and warn, let it’s heat run through your entire bloodstream.

Realize what you have, savor it whille you possess it.
Don’t allow it to slip by without getting the chance to embrace it.

-For my brother who is going through a rough period in his life.
