"You have not even begun to scratch the surface of how important your life means to not only me, [y]our friends and [y]our family, but your life, which is a gift for the world that is waiting for you." - Brent Smith.


when everything is lost,
when everything goes wrong,
when everything has turned against you,
there will still be one thing worth living for.

when everybody is mocking you,
when friends turn their backs,
when betrayal strikes,
there will still be one thing worth living for.

when your life seems null,
when it all comes crashing down,
when theres nobody to turn to,
there will still be one thing worth living for.

i will be there when everything is lost,
i will be there when betrayal strikes,
i will be there when it all comes crashing down,
i will be,
the one thing,
worth living for.

A bit of story comes in on this poem. my girlfriend has several diagnosed disorders, and when put together they are a volatile combination.. add that, and an immensely bullied past, and she became suicidal. i helped her through her problems and eventually we fell for each other. i wrote this poem for her and im publishing it now on here
