I woke up today
And wondered why
I’m still alive
I did not die

I can’t move my body
Or turn my head
I’m stuck here rotting in my bed

I’ve been a prisoner for many years
I’m all cried out, done shedding tears

This is no life
Don’t they know?
They say they love me
Please help me go

I’m too tired to be mad
I’m too angry to be sad

Where does that leave me?
Alone and confused
Nothing to live for, just a bottle of *****

If anger doesn’t **** me
Sadness surely will
Time to give up, grab that bottle of pills

I finally wake up in the drab familiar room
Not the first time here, I’ve returned to my doom

I can barely breathe, and I cannot move
All I can see is a tangled web of tubes

Keeping me alive
I wonder what for
Someone had found me
Face down on the floor

I’ll eventually get out of this place
Back to my life, it’s too much to face

It’s time I leave this empty shell
I need to get out of this endless hell

Next time I will get it right
I’m waiting to embrace that soothing bright light

Let go of your fears and go after your dreams
No matter how impossible it may seem

If you really want something bad enough
Stand tall and hold on tough

Life seems so hard, but don’t fret my friend
Your dream may be right around the next bend

Anger
Jealousy
Resentment
Hate

These will surely destroy us if we let them

Forgiveness
Happiness
Gratitude
Love

These will surely save us if we let them

Choose to live, live to be saved…

Not to be destroyed by things we cannot control
But find a way to once again be whole

Is it time to slit my wrists?
Or do I hang in there one more day
Until this feeling goes away?

The knife is sharp and ready to go
But am I ready to make it so

I need to remember the joy in my life
Stop my whining, put down the knife

Every moment brings something new
The sun shining bright, the morning dew

I’ll be thankful today
At this moment in time
Pretending for now that everything’s fine

Does anyone care what happens to me?
It surely doesn’t seem to be
I’ve opened my heart
Given my love
Only to be thrown away
Like a ***** old glove

Am I invisible?
Does anyone care?
Would they take notice?
If I colored my hair

I’m just another face in the crowd
Tears swelling up
My brain screaming loud

Does any of this matter
Waking up every day?
I’m ready to leave
God take me away

We work, we die
I look to the clouds and cry
I only long for peace and joy
They are nowhere in site
So what’s my next ploy?

I really don’t ask for much
All my plans are turning to mush
Doom and gloom is all I see
No knight in shining armor to come rescue me

I made my choices
Not all good ones I admit
But I’ve been trying so hard
I haven’t yet quit

So why is life so unfair?
Almost too much to bear
On foot in front of the other
And here I go again
Hoping for something wonderful
Around the next bend
