And today I realized

that I am the biggest hypocrite

of them all.

 

I tell everyone to keep holding on

that there is light at the end.

That everything gets better as long

as you continue to wait.

 

I always tell people to have hope.

That they need to keep trying because

it is too early to give up,

that they have so much to live for.

 

Then there is me,

and I am barely holding on.

 

A.K.
