Carry On

How do you find hope in a hopeless world?

How do you find joy when there is no joy to be found?

Where is the happiness hiding when you're in despair?

How do you escape when you're trapped in a dungeon of darkness that engulfs you?

The answer isn't easy to find, but it is there, lying under the tears.

 Take a breath,

  Relax,

   Close your eyes

    And search your heart.

You will find redemption.

You will find salvation.

It may be over a hill, or it may be over the tallest mountain peak.

But realize that everything, eventually comes to an end.

While you're in distress try to understand that life is beautiful.

You may not believe it to be true, but take a look around you and who or what do you see?

 Your friends.

  Your family.

The sun,

 The moon,

  The stars.

When you climb your obstacle and feel that all is lost, and you simply cannot go on,

Don't give up.

That's the moment your friends and family will throw your arm around their neck and help carry the burden and walk with you.

Don't think you're alone.

 Ever.

Because you aren't.

When the world is at its darkest point,

 and you can't see the end

  remember that dawn always approaches.
