Because You Have To

Staring at the ceiling hoping its just for now,

Falling apart at the seams alone in the dark.

Its times like these you'd wished you could fall apart,

 But until it's over, together is all you're allowed to be.

Its hard to understand why the heart hurts when it mourns,

Like all the blood leaves when the betrayal pushes its way inside.

It throbs with ever sob, breaking and wrenching until you fall to your knees,

You can't seem to stand, to take a breath, the cold sets in.

It's not that you can't handle the pain running rampant through your veins,

It's time to push the emotions aside so you can stand.

Putting them in a dark place and putting them under lock and key,

If not, the darkness you embrace, the pain is the only thing you can see. 

Remember your hardships, learn from your mistakes,

Help those who reach for your guidance and always give it your all.

It's time to stand upright, straighten your spine and put your hands up to fight.

Get back into this race, get into your lane and run until your heart bursts.

Put your priorities in order, keep your head barely above water.

Dont worry, You'll make it because you have to.
