Dear stranger,

I want to tell you

never to

follow the flow of things

I want to tell you to embrace life

and everything it brings

Need you to know that everything

Will never seem okay

But it always works out in the end

Anyway

And maybe there will always be

the remnants of pain

But never turn your back on life

Or take it all in vain

You need to know the sun still rises

Even when you don't

And someone out there's laughing

Even though you won't

And please try to remember

That you never are alone

Just look up and smile

You will always have a home
