Pill after pill and still the void lingers
Gripping my wrists begging to escape reality.
Ocean of velvet is where the high takes me.
Artificial comfort and happiness,
why can't you last forever?
Soon I'll forget what solid ground feels like,
and I'll lose myself to you again.
Count me in, when you are at your highest
When happiness follows close behind you
And you seem to lose all your worries and fears
Even though you may forget me in your presence
I still get the chance to see you so elated
When you light up the whole room
And everyone sees you the way I see you

Count me in, when you are at your peak
When depression follows close behind you
And you seem to lose all your good memories and feelings
Even though you forget that I'm still hear
I still get the chance to see you, even like this
When you sit alone in your mind
And no one sees you the way I see you
Your still so beautiful

Count me in, when you are in the middle
When you can't remember what followed behind you
And if it was happy or sad
Even though you have forgotten that I exist
I still get the chance to see you, erase me
When you sleep hours at a time
And no one sees you at all
You are still so beautiful in my eyes
Count me in
Dear friend, why are you so blue?
Are you all alone because everyone left you?
Did you and your loved one part ways?
Did a friend move away?
Did life let you down?
Is that why you've got a frown?
Is everything falling apart?
Is it raining in your heart?

I have something to say
That'll take the pain away:
You are loved and you're alive,
Everything will be alright.
Face today with a smile,
Don't let your sorrows pile.
You can defeat the pain,
Go out and sing in the rain.
I rarely write rhyming poems...not very good at them! But I felt like you needed some cheering up, so here is some sunshine for you! Face today with a brave face, and sing in the rain!
