The human species has seen many dark times and has prevailed,
Because we can adapt
For we have not yet failed.
We have been unsuccessful before,
But we have learned from our mistakes
And come out better and stronger.
We have what it takes,
To help others become stronger with us.
To help them see that, in every situation that is dire,
That we can shine brightly making our own light,
That we all burn with our own fire.
Let it be that of hope, love, grace,
Or bravery.
So that when looking at a problem in the face,
being able to say
“I will not give up, I can do this, WE can”
And not doing it for fame, money
Or to get fans.
But doing it for YOURSELF and those you care about.
Showing that when someone is in need of help we can become a hero,
And grab them by the hand,
Helping them instead of leaving them there, putting in no effort to help, zero
Leaving them alone and lonely.
Thinking that you could have helped them,
But did not.
Being filled by feelings of guilt, and regret, your mood becomes quite glum.
Knowing that if you helped them you would have this sense of betterment,
That deep in your heart they what you did was good.
And if you helped them you would feel pleasant at the present,
That if you had grabbed their hand you would have shown them that no matter what situation you are in, there will always be something, someone, there that can help you.
The next time you see someone struggling and you have the power to help them, so that they’re soul may shine bright,
That it may shine brighter than the stars
Grab their hand so they can see that at the end of the tunnel, there will always be light.
