A friend told me,

I should stop doing what I’m doing.

I’m only hurting myself, aren’t I?

Don’t be like me,

I’m an idiot chasing the past.

Don’t hurt yourself,

Because your future is so bright,

Why chase the dark,

When the world can gleam so beautifully?

Why would you hurt yourself?

You have those around you to listen to you,

At every step of your way,

Your lows, your highs,

So why ruin yourself?

It’s hard, I know,

You’re the lab rat dying to reach the marshmallow,

But look at those who decided to ignore their ugly voice,

They are now at the top,

While you still scramble on the ground?

Don’t hurt yourself,

Because I love you too much for you to do so.
