It Gets Easier with Time

ShawnTe Pierce
I don't know how to help you.

I've never had to go through what you have.

I don't want to.

All I know to do is be here for you.

When you need to talk I can listen.

When you need a laugh, I got mad jokes.

When you need to cry I can comfort.

But I can't take the pain away.

All I can do is be there and pray.

I do know this.

You are stronger than you think.

The fact that you are still here is evidence.

You are a fighter.

The fact that you face the world is proof.

The pain will never die.

But it gets easier with time.
