Dont...

when the dark days take you,
and hide you deep within.
remember that i'm always here,
on the outside, looking in.

if i could set you free,
you know i'd gladly do so.
i send my cheery thoughts to you,
but somehow they never get through.

i try to vanquish she who holds you,
if only i could find a way.
but Lady Sadness holds on tight,
and she's such a hard foe to slay.

she pulls you deep within yourself,
and the tangles of self-doubt grow.
until you see just worthlessness,
not the wonderful person i know.

sometimes when i look into your eyes,
i see nothing but darkness there.
i wish that i could bring you back,
and the joy of living we'd share.

i hope that when your mood has lightened,
and you read this words, this plea.
take them deep into your heart,
and with them a small part of me.
