Editing Instructions

Please note in the NOTES textbox below that this poem has been edited, do not put your name, please put as the following:

DO NOT remove the line break ( <br /> ) html coding at the end of each line break, these are needed to form the correct lines.
THE CHEATIf you do not wish to delete a poem, or a certain part of a poem, and instead would like to send the url to Mick via PM for confirmation, enclose the entire poem (or part/s thereof) between  (ie. ). This will still save the text, but will make it invisible from viewing (other than page source view). You could also add before the <!-- something to the effect of "This Poem under review".

Tell yourself it's okay Tell yourself it's okay
Then turn out the lights
Whisper softly to yourself
"It's gonna be alright"
It's not always darkest before dawn
It's darkest in the dead of night
So reassure yourself of nothing
and prepare for a fight

Sweat drips down your forehead
and your arms fall asleep
you toss and turn and feel your chest
to make sure you feel a beat
You've been through this before
but every time it feels brand new
and it's as if you're the only one
who knows what you're going through

And they ask you what causes it?
but you have no idea
maybe it's work,maybe it's her
maybe you're drinking to much beer
maybe you're not happy with yourself
maybe it's all those things
so you pick up your guitar
and you sing.

it all goes away with a few chords
and some honest but sloppy lyrics
about your life at it's worse
and how you won't take it anymore
but do you believe that?
Maybe, but not fully.
So you jot this down to stop the worry

and you
make it to another day.
and you
tell yourself it's okay
