Parts of You

Sometimes life becomes hard

And every pill is hard to swallow

Making you choke and gag on them

It's like seeing your reflection in a broken mirror

With the shards of glass lying at your feet

At such times you start to think that

You are worthless

But the night is darkest before the dawn

And a day is only 24 hours long

At the end of which time the slate gets wiped clean

Allowing you to begin again

Because the part of you that wants to begin

Is stronger than the part of you that wants to end
