Tell yourself a lie
Before the hopelessness sets in
Convince yourself that there is
Some truth to your words
These will anchor you
Help you keep your eyes on the shore
Even when the seas get rough
And skies cry and scream in agony
Tell yourself of the places you will visit someday
The man you will go on a date with
The drinks you will have with friends
Laughter, joy
A sense of belonging
Love
Tell yourself these lies
Before the hopelessness sets in
Before you find yourself
Staring at a wall for two hours
Feeling nothing
