How do I express this?
I know so many people are hurting,
But what do I say?
Do I lie and say anything will be okay?
I've seen a lot of pain in my short life,
People who fought to live but died,
Teens who I watched cry after their friend committed suicide
What could I have said?
Their eyes filled with an emptiness that sucked the light out of the room.
I felt my heart break and shivers climbed up my spine at the sight.
The same dark thoughts filled the room and echoed in every mind.
What if tomorrow I wound up dead?
Regretting that I never said what needed to be said.
Fight and claw at life!
Do whatever it takes to stay alive!
Scream at the thoughts in your head,
The ones that keep you from your bed.
Walk up the road of life that is as weak as glass
If someone tries to shatter my fragile confidence
I'll walk past them on that very same glass.
I won't be stopped by the ropes that this world tries to strangle me with.
I don't need to bleed to be reminded that I am still living,
Cuz there's still fire in my eyes.
Do whatever it takes,
Just keep on breathing,
One breath at a time.
