Don't Give Up

What do you do if the one person that means the most to you, leaves you?

Your happiness, it’s gone.

What do you do? Do you move on, or do you not?

Do you stay in each others lives,

but be miserable every time you talk,

just so you don’t lose them?

Or do you suffer by trying to move on?

You have to be strong,

no matter how much it hurts.

And find the right answer.

 

Well, This ones for the one who have loved and lost.

This ones for the ones who felt like they lost everything they had,

just because they lost the one they loved most.

This is for the ones who have been used and abused,

and who’s gotten used to the abuse.

This ones for the ones who have been lied to and cheated on,

who have no trust because of the past.

This ones for the ones who are tortured,

every day of their lives.

This ones for the ones who aren’t perfect,

so they feel not good enough.

This ones for the people who don’t feel like trying anymore,

Who feel like giving up everything.

Bad things always happen.

But you just have to find something that makes you happy,

and do it, and move the hell on.

But how?

Time.

They say time heals all wounds,

but does it really?

The wound is always there,

but your mind starts to block it out.

Protecting you from the heartbreaking pain.

 

Well, I assure you.

You’ll find love again.

You’ll find something that makes you happy.

You haven’t lost everything.

Why?

Because you have life.

That’s the most precious gift of all.

Don’t ever give that gift up.

Don’t give it up for people who have used and abused you.

Don’t give it up for people that mistreat you.

Don’t give it up for the ones who’ve tortured you.

Don’t give it up for people who don’t appreciate you.

Don’t give it up because you feel you aren’t perfect.

No ones perfect.

Don’t be so hard on yourself.

You are good enough.

You’re worth it.

You may not see it, but someone does.

Don’t give your gift up for anyone who can’t see that.

Don’t waste your time putting in so much effort,

for someone who doesn’t put any effort into you.

Because one day someone will come along

and take all your pain away.

And make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else.

Don’t give up now because you think that you lost everything,

just because you lost one person.

Yes you may have loved them.

Or at least thought you did..

But what really is love?

You hear that word being thrown around.

Like it means nothing

or like it’s some kind of messed up entertainment,

but it’s not all fun and games.

It’s an emotion that is taken for granted.

Some people are so cruel and use it so easily

So cold heartedly.

Don’t let those people get in your way.

Don’t let them stop you.

Don’t give up.

 

Life is like a haunted maze

You don’t know what’s in it,

or what you are in for.

Until you start wandering around.

And no matter what jumps out at you,

you have to keep moving on.

 

You have to find the strength to carry through your day.

You’ll get better.

You’ll find someone new.

Love is finding someone that takes your pain away,

Someone that cares for your happiness more than their own.

Keep searching.

Don’t give up.
