Isn't It Nice?

You say you

Want to run away?

You feel you need to

Bleed in red?

You want to jump,

The closer you get to the edge?

You want to get high

And forget everything.

Just for a while.

Do it.

But I have a

Few simple rules.

If you must run,

Run to me.

If you want to bleed,

Bleed in ink.

If you need to jump,

Land in your bed.

If you want to get high,

Climb a tree.

Pain will not subside,

If creating it

Is the culprit.

Hiding behind a mask.

Feels nice,

But makes you fake.

Be true to who you are,

It’s okay to take a break.

Beautiful =) This poem would be great for anybody going through a hard time. Sometimes when you feel defeated, hearing that it's okay is just what you need. Everybody fall down sometimes, but our minds convince us that we need to be perfect. Poems like this make you realize that it's okay to fall down, and you can make your problems less severe if you just try.
