Down another glass of wine
Instead of another bottle of pills.
Scream into any of your pillows, because
They have all heard this song before.
Remember, it's only a matter of time,
And you only have to hold on a little longer.
Count the beats of your heart, and not
The tears running down your face, for
In the face of suffering, my dear, you
Obey only your own will, for you are
No longer swayed by petty pains of the heart and mind.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
