to you who has forgotten hope:
you don't need
to kill yourself to be free
of everything
you cannot stand
you can kill the parts of yourself
you do not like
without ever having to
cease living
there are better ways
to escape
there are always safer
places to escape to
you don't
ever
have to be alone
you will
never
be abandoned
hope is never
lost
sometimes
it is simply
forgotten
so, you
yes, you
don't you
dare
forget
