To Love (means we always will)

Updating you all, one at a time. I think that's easier.

This was... About some people... Well... It's just about people in general. It was inspired by several people I work with, but not directly related to them.
I think it's a message... A call to stand up for yourself, and stop numbing yourself. Life hurts sometimes. We get stronger by pressing on despite the pain. But some people never grow. They do whatever they can to numb away the pains of life... And when that numbness wears off they feel even more pain, and so they just keep numbing and numbing...
This poem is about dealing with that pain of facing yourself and your own demons.
But never forget that you're never alone in the battle. You have friends and family who love you. And love lasts forever, no matter what fights you've had in the past. So someone who loved you once... Will always love you, if it's true love... Because love never lies.
While I've been typing this up, an organization called To Write Love On Her Arms came to mind. If you've never heard of them, you really should look them up. They have an amazing message and story of rescue and love.

Do the needles numb it away
Living to erase
The feeling that keeps you alive
Replaced by the vapors that keep you high
Covering up what's there
It doesn't mean that it's gone away
Pain is here to remind us
That we've growing yet to make

And every day the house stood
Painting over the cracks never made it stronger
But over time
After the years had taken their toll
The foundation weakened
I believe his mind's beginning to crack...
You can't just ignore them
Push them away
The pain just gets worse
And there's no cure
But to face yourself
Head on
Draw your sword and shield
Uncover the mirror
And uncloak your masked face
Today
It is time
Stand
Face your demons
Leave nothing left to hide
Decipher every lie
Face your greatest fears
We'll be here by your side
We still love you
Forever
Means we always will
Stop running
Stand your ground
