<p>before, in your grief, you say<br />
"everything sucks, and nothing is okay"<br />
just remember how you used to watch the trees sway</p>
<p>in the death- the absence of light<br />
watching the hands of midnight<br />
scrape their twisted twiggy fingers, locked in eternal fight</p>
<p>take heart, little one! remember your name<br />
chosen by yourself, pains taken care that it was not the same<br />
as the people who took joy in you being the one they should defame</p>
<p>do not discard yourself to the tomb just yet and become a recluse<br />
you think there is light there, but it is just a ruse<br />
to detach you from humanity and rob you of your muse</p>
<p>you have far greater things in life still yet to achieve<br />
you have friends, a lover, family, who in you they believe<br />
just remember: for everything, if you insist, have a good reason to leave</p>
<p>if they drag you into the night, don't be afraid to wrack up a storm<br />
take pride in who you are, and in your human form!<br />
a god you are not, and a girl you shall stay<br />
in terms of bodily functions, anyway</p>
<p>do not shy away from the natural state of the human condition<br />
lest you lose grasp on reality and cause your own perdition</p>
<p>remember that there is no such thing as perfection in life<br />
there is always still more work to be done, more things to cause strife</p>
<p>you are destined for greatness! now go, and make peace!<br />
and bring hope for the future to the least of these!</p>
