*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*
