This is it
The last drive
The last song
The last time I will fail
For my beginning or end
The final goodbye
I can't go back any further
I'm at the edge of the cliff and everything is pushing me forward
I can't scream any louder
No one is coming
Its just me
I have to decided
Do I push back or fall forward
The problems are many
Building everything but me
The world takes on a new light even in the darkness of night
Does this final glimmer of hope have enough to push me back
Enough to push everything back
Or is this the story of someone who found peace off the cliff
Have you ever had everything right in front of you
  Then watched it get wrenched away from you as your fingers grip tight trying to hang on
     Leaving nothing but a black void in you
Have you ever filled yourself with hate and depression
  Feeling of hopelessness and broken dreams
     The belief that everything is always going to turn against you, or leave you
Have you ever stared at the dark sky wondering what keeps you going
  Wishing someone would take you away or end the searing pain inside you
     Wondering if anyone would even miss you or care
Have you ever warn a fake smile so long you forget what a real one feels like
  Exhausting yourself trying to keep others from knowing how you feel
    Fearing that someone might see through your mask of darkness
      Fearing that someone might make you smile for real and then leave you
        Fearing that everything will start working out again just in time to all fall back apart
          Fearing that nothing is ever going to make you happy
            Fearing that no one is ever going to understand you or make you happy
Have you ever felt like cutting yourself just so you didn't feel that deep empty pain if only for  a moment
  Thinking why can't I just be happy
    Why can't everything just work out for me
Have you ever thought tomorrow was going to be the day you ended your life long torment
  Feeling like you might take the razor a little deeper tomorrow
   Feeling like you have given it your all and you have nothing left
Have you ever felt like you were all alone in your pain
  Like you had no one who could truly understand you
   Thinking you were just weak and pathetic
     Been to afraid to talk out of fear of what people would say or think
       Worried about how your friends or family would feel
You are not alone
  You are not pathetic or weak
    You are not broken beyond repair
      Tomorrow doesn't need to be your last day
        You don't have to cut to make that pain go away
          You won't always lose everything even if it feels like
            You are not alone
              You are not forgotten or replaceable
                You can stand back on your feet
                  You will get through everything even when it seems impossible
                    You will be understood by the people who care about you
                      You are not stupid for feeling depressed about any of it
                        You are strong enough to keep pushing
                          You will smile again and feel the joy of laughter
                            You will look back at your life someday and be happy you didn't give up
                              You need to let people in and talk
                                You do need to express yourself because nobody can do it better
                                  You will never be judge by people who truly matter or care
                                    You can get through this
Depression is not a 1st world problem
it is not a rich or poor person problem
it's not something that will just go away as you get older
or something you are immune to when you are younger
depression is not something that can be wished or willed away
depression is not a problem that only the weak or strong experience
it is not bound by race or ***
it is not something you can run away from
depression is not something you can lock away and forget about
depression won't leave you alone at night
it's not something that cares who your friends with or who you know
it doesn't care if you're sick or healthy
depression is something felt by all*

I'm done with the games
I'm done with this pain
I won't hide behind my barricaded door
I won't stand here and just let my voice go unheard
If I have to scream then i'll scream
I'll scream till the world shakes apart
I'll scream till someone finally looks at me
I won't go back into the dark
I won't be pushed back anymore
I won't be stopped or shut down anymore
If I have to move you then I'll move you
I can't be turned away anymore
I can't fix the broken pieces anymore
My hands have been cut to shreds and I just can't grip any longer
I can't back up anymore
The walls are right behind me and I'm just screaming on my knees
Screaming that someone will just look at me
Screaming that someone will stick out a hand
I'm on my knees just screaming
Screaming for a hand to grip
Please just listen to me
Just listen to what I have to say
Please just don't let me go unheard
Don't let the world drowned me out
I have something to say
I have something that needs to be heard
I won't scream forever but I'm screaming now
Just don't let my voice fall on deaf ears
Just listen to me
Listen to me while I'm still screaming
Listen to me while I still have breath in these lungs
Listen while I still have something to say* -Jeffrey Sutter
I tear it out because I don't need it anymore
I don't want to play anymore
I don't want to stand and fight anymore
I can't take anymore
I have no tears anymore
I'm done and its over
I'm tired of shaking
I'm tired of waking up and not knowing
I'm tired of stuffing it all inside
There's no room left anymore
There's no fight left anymore
The war is over and i'm not sure who's the winner
I can't do this anymore*
-Jeffrey Sutter
Divested self worth and shattered dreams
my heart bleeds to feed the screaming voices
in hopes that my blood will purge them from my mind
and desecrate my thoughts of a life long lost* - Jeffrey Sutter
Life  is an ever ending mystery
Life is cruel and will kick you when your down
Life doesn't care who you are or who you know
Life doesn't stop and wait for you to ketch up
Life will speed right past you if you waste it
Life will make you wish you never had it to begin with
Life can scar you deeper than any knife can
Life can make you want to give up
But Life can also bring joy
Life is what you fight to keep
Life is the greatest gift you can give
Life is always worth keeping
Don't ever give up on Life* -Jeffrey Sutter
