Believe (old version)

When waking up is one of the hardest things to do
And the first sound you make is a despairing groan
When you don't want the pain of another day
And just want to stay in bed and sleep, to tell the world to go away.
 
Look outside and see the life around you
A flower, a bird, even the tiniest insect has its own beauty
Just sit and watch, take a moment for yourself
Allow the wonder and magic of life to consume your mind
Let that pretty flower, or bird, or insect become your reality
 
As you sit there in awe of what you see
Thoughts may wonder if someone will ever truly understand you
And want to be part of your life
At these times remember, in this world, you are the only you
You are unique, and your wonderful qualities are ready to shine
 
And somehow, at some point, probably most unexpectedly
You will find someone out there who believes in you
Who wants to share your pain, to take part of the burden
And you will find joy that was once unimaginable
