Put down the blade, little girl.
Instead, scream at the world.

Throw away that knife, dear.
It won’t let you see clearer.

The emotions,
Don’t bottle them up.
Spew them out.

Don’t hide, sweetheart.
Don’t fall back to the start.

Don’t doubt your strength.
Don’t keep me at arm’s length.

Blossom, you are not alone.
Now you’re not on your own.

You know I understand you.
Don’t let your lips turn blue.

Your heart can mend from catastrophe.
Don’t morph into hate and apathy.

I will wait for you. I will be here for you. I will stay awake with you. I will cry with you. I will laugh with you. I will grow with you. I will live with you.

Live, darling.

I need your heart to breathe again.
