Convince Yourself

Convince Yourself

A Story by ElliotShane

That everything is ok.

 

That you haven't lost everything.

 

That you're not really crying, it's just the rain.

 

That the sun isn't setting.

 

That mom is coming home.

 

That the world is a wonderful place.

 

That you're really not afraid.

 

That you can do this.

 

That the bruises will fade.

 

That the blood is fake.

 

That your heart is still in one piece.

 

That it's ok to breathe.

 

That the water isn't too deep.

 

That the fire isn't too hot.

 

That the rope isn't too tight.

 

That the ground is soft.

 

That the smell of dirt is beautiful.

 

That you're not afraid of small spaces.

 

That the bottle isn't empty.

 

That the knife isn't really that sharp.

 

That the love is gone. 

 

That you're happy.

 

That she really loves you.

 

That you don't miss anyone.

 

 That it's not all a lie.

 

That it's all in your head.
