We tell ourselves that we are alone
He or she has it better
That these feelings are our own,

Going through the emotions
A person hunched over, a glazed stare
Show we care and ask them to share,

To touch the lives of many peopleΒ Β 
Dig deeper and live with compassion
Understand that we are creatures in need of relationships, a self-satisfaction,

To feel we belong and that we are loved
To feel a hand on our back, someone asking if we're okay
To not be afraid,

It's part of our human nature
The part that we must never let go
It's what makes us special in this world,

That we can relate
We can help one another
Forget the jealousy and hate,

Having someone reach out and hear us
Makes us feel that we are a part of something greater
That we are not failures,

We can save lives
Say no to suicide
No more goodbyes
