Saving Yourself

The is no greater lesson in life

than the realization that only you can save yourself;

from the drama

the pain and regret 

the words left unsaid 

- actions that cannot be erased 

Save yourself from the darkness 

the faceless demon that eats away at your youth 

it creeps in and sucks the life out of you 

your dreams once colourful 

now, empty and invalid 

Save yourself from the misery 

of loving people that don't reciprocate;

situations that leave you emotionally drained. 

save yourself from the anger and frustration 

the doubt and confusion 

of loving too soon, too passionately 

save yourself from the meltdowns.
