I Once Was Sad and All Alone

I once was sad and all alone.
Never a place to call a home.
My thoughts were lost and always empty.
I never had the chance to forgive me.
I could not control the pain inside.
I often wished I would die.
If these are words, to which you can relate.
Then you are reading this and it is not too late.

It’s not too late to turn around,
and pick your life up off the ground.
It’s not too late to make amends,
with the hurt that is buried within.
You have to focus and be strong.
It will be hard but it won't take long.
It won't take long for the pain to filter.
Out of your mouth or even on paper.
At first, you will not want to do it.
You will fear someone will read it or hear it.
However, in time you will let it be known,
everyone has pain they want to let go.
You were just strong enough to let yours show.
