I look in the mirror
Just deal with it I yell
The pain is like a white hot seer
I need to quit running away and stop hiding in a shell
No more options, I need to man up
No longer can I make excuses
As I go to talk though in my throat I feel a lump
I've lighted the fuses
I will come out and say my thoughts
I'll tell everyone the words I need to say
In a way I'm saying I fought
I no longer will keep myself at bay
I'm rising up and starting a rebellion of my emotions
I don't need any magic potions

They say you can't save someone
Who's been thinking about suicide
Honestly though no one believes that
Everyone who has dealt with suicide
Blames themselves for the death of the people they cared about
It doesn't always last forever
Though it does stick around for awhile
The depression and the guilt
The feeling that it's going to happen again
Always putting up a wall so no one can ever hurt you again.
Because the pain is just to much to bear
I can't really speak for all of the people
Who've ever dealt with suicide
I think that most will agree though that these words are true  
For me and you
These words strike home
They hit us hard even though we thought we had moved on
Even if we think we're not affected by it anymore
It lingers inside of is
Waiting for the moment it can devastate us.
It's like a curse
Its always there
Even if we're unaware
So why lie and say we are fine
We are most certainly not although we don't wanna admit it but we could probably use some help.
Suicide is life changing
It can wreck someone who has to deal with loved ones doing it.
It can change government policy
Or even world policy.
Suicide is a very powerful topic and action
It's not too be used lightly
Or brought up in a joke
When people realize this
Then maybe something amazing could happen
We could actually save a life maybe.

It's like being stabbed a thousand times
only it last longer and it hurts more.

A birthday no one cares about.
A forgotten sacred moment
No one to celebrate with
17 lone candles burning down
A push of air and they flicker out
A silent wish to be reborn
A snap and a frozen moment is created
But no one smiles, no one laughs.
A frozen moment has been created
But there is no one to share it with.
One year older but no one cares
Another year of success but no one notices.

As photographers we see the world differently
We look around and see a beautiful picture
As a “regular” person we see drudging task of life
Photographers see a glistening meadow full of white
“Regular” people see a biter cold with biting wind
Photographers see the world through lenses that act as eyes
“Regular” people think all philosophically and scientifically
Photographers think what would look best
A black and white photograph
Or
A sketch that looks like a picture
Photographers are artist and nothing less
So don’t mistake them for “regular” people

Like all people I have my problems
I might have more than most
I’ll do my best to change them
At the very least I’ll mask them
Just take a moment and talk to me
You might discover I’m not that bad
I’ve been through a lot and it’s changed me
You can still find the good in me though
Stick with me and you will find I can still be happy
Give me a reason to change
Just a little bit of love will do
You know I can still love you
I can still provide for you
I’ll do my best to give you all of me.
But I need you to give me all of you
I can’t make us work without you
I’m going to need a hand to hold
I’m going to need you to be strong
Even if I can’t
There will be times
Where everything seems like it’s going to fall apart
With your help we’ll hold it together
We can keep us up and afloat
Hold our heads high so no one see’s our struggle
I don’t like being a lone so stay with me
