Keep Breathing

When the ground on which you walk
Is unsturdy and broken;
When pain is unbearable
Nothing lessens it
When the light that you trusted
Is dimmed by something black and faceless,
Keep breathing.

When life seems unbeatable
And you are defeated
When allies that you needed,
Disappear and have faded
When you are tired
And can't keep moving,
Just keep breathing

When friends become enemies
And no one can be trusted
When truth isn't truth
And lies seep forth
When life seems unimportant
And death is more inviting
Remember one thing,
Keep breathing.
