I Know Your Thoughts

I know what you're thinking

I know just how you feel

The things in life, they don't seem to be real

How can everything end up this way?

How can I alleviate my pain?

Are these things for real or are they just in my brain?

You don't know what to do anymore and you want to give up

But I'm here to tell you it's not worth it, NOW LISTEN UP

I know how you feel, I've been there before

Just a few weeks ago I couldn't take it anymore

I drove to a place that is my all time favorite

To see it once more, incase I didn't make it

The sound of the waves and the smell of the air

Made it a perfect place, to end it all right there

But when I was about to do it I just couldn't

Something stopped me...

It was the cries of family, the cries of friends

If i were to do it

what if theyre already at their ends?

Would it push them here? Would it make them like me?

I can't let that happen, It's not worth risking

My life is to precious and so is theirs

I know life is hard but you've gotta face your fears

I know right now you think it won't get better

But I promise you, this is only stormy weather

You can do it, you've been through worse

Til your final days, and since your birth

You were made for this, you're a champion, a fighter

There's nothing in this world that can shine brighter

Than you when your pillow is soaked with tears

Because you know that you've just overcame your fears

Tears of joy because you, yes you, you're still breathing

And your family won't have to mourn your leaving

You just said "no" to giving up your life

Now go and hug them...   It's alright.
