So I know that first part was all great and everything.

But I also know that life is not all sunshines and rainbows and "soon it'll get better!"s.

These are poems that I wrote when I was feeling........

well, let's just say I wasn't feeling great.

And yes, they're a bit darker (though not as dark as my Halloween ones hahaha). But AGAIN, read my introduction to part 1.

You can do it.

You can get through those dark times, even when it feels like there's no light ahead. Even when it feels like the night stretches on forever. Those are the times you gotta pick yourself up, and say, "I am the light. I light my way. I am strong. I am brave. I will get through this."

And if you need help, ask. There is nothing wrong or weak about asking for help. The weak thing is pretending you don't need it.

I believe in you.
