When

[dismalmind]

When the pain ceases to stop;
stop and think.
When the world turns its back;
turn your back and start anew.
When you find yourself bleeding;
bleed and know you are human.
When there's no ground to stand on;
stand tall and walk on.
When all odds are against you;
go against the grain and be brave.
When the darkness consumes all;
consume your atmosphere and smile.
When emptiness brings you down;
go down the road and know you're not alone.
When the clouds fog your view;
view the horizon and breathe.
When love seems lost;
lose yourself in love and feel free.

Though time never stops,
stop and count all the roses within the weeds
and watch them blossom and bloom;
know that all things come to pass,
and so will all your "whens".
