Hold onto the love you have inside of your heart

Don't you dare let it go.

It's the only thing you have that can deflect the hate of this place.

Don't you dare be filled with their pain.

Don't be filled with their pain, help them ease it.

By not being destroyed by your own, You're an inspiration.

The author's comments:

This was from the heart. I didn't want to spend hours thinking about something. I just wanted to lay it down. My whole message when I write is to inspire people. This is my first attempt to publish anything, and if it gets published I'd love that it relflects my message so accurately- "We're all inspirations and we have to believe that and help people."
