When you're feeling cold and lonely
Remember to wrap yourself in your blanket of compassion
Because all you need to do is love yourself
At times when it is the hardest thing to indulge into

When your eyes are empty
And nothing is all you can feel
And when all you can see is the things you don't want to see
Know that your heart is the opposite of vacant

Close your eyes and cry all you want
Let your eyes be red and puffy
Because sometimes all you need to do
Is feel the grieve stabbing you

The stairs you have rebuilt
Will come crashing down on you
It's going to be hard and painful
And you won't feel like rebuilding them again

What is the point? you say
I had enough, you say
I just want to lie here, you say
This is harder than I ever imagine

Look up and watch the sky
It's faraway but not gone
Maybe one day, you think
I will make it up there again

Because you got to remember yourself the most
When all you try to do is please people
And people remembers you
But you forgot yourself

This was one of the first poems that came into my head. I was hunched over in my Mom's car with my legs on the seat and hugged to my chest when this came to me. It was cold and dark and empty at that time. In that moment, I told myself to keep being strong and wanted others to be strong too so I decided to write this.
