(A/N: The other day I just happened to be thinking about depression and suicide. At one point I was suicidal and depressed and I know quite a few people that were too. I was able to stop my best friend from committing suicide a few years back. Since then things have gotten better for me and my friend too but this just happened to pop up in my head during one of my more vulnerable moments. I was able to overcome some of my problems but I also thought about the people who can't. This literally poured out of me. I hope it's able to help someone and they know that they are not alone.)
We know that life is riddled with problems
We spend our whole lifetime trying to solve them
Think about all the time it can take
Sometimes they leave you so empty inside, you break
Mistakes left in your wake and you feel worthless
Life gets the better of us and we lose our purpose
You look in the mirror and you don't see yourself
Your own reflection screaming at you, crying out for help
Someone asks you how are you and you say you're fine
Your one favorite over used line
You walk around hiding what's true
But all the cracks are starting to show through
And you can't take this anymore
Wishing you were never born
So you make decisions on what to do
Dropping little hints but no one picks up the clue
Until it's too late
But that isn't your only fate
I know it hurts to keep breathing
With the feeling that your life has no meaning
You're not alone and we're all the same
Dealing with hard situations and we're not to blame
For the thoughts that we give in to
Don't give up hope in finding meaning for you
There is so much to discover
A whole world that is yours to uncover
As long as your heart still beats
You have a purpose, please don't admit defeat
Ask and you will receive
Take my hand and I'll help, you just got to believe
There will always be bad days
The world closing in on you and you want to get away
You can pull through it and not give in
You have the determination to win
So when you look in the mirror again
And you can see your reflection letting you in
Make that determination in yourself unmistakable
Try to make your resolve unbreakable
