I always hear kids say no one knows the pain they're going through, what it's like to be them,
How they're all on their own, without a shoulder to cry on, let alone someone who'd listen, someone to call friend.
I just want you to know that I know the feeling, I know how it feels to be isolated from those whom you care for,
You're never alone, you always have my words to be by your side, don't dig yourself into place and lock that door.
Look at me, I'm living proof that you can pull through, you're still alive, do not give into those thoughts,
Never let those who can't understand the feeling be the ones to bring you down, it's a war I know you can win, it's a war I fought.
Don't let go, I'll be here to hold your hand through the darkest times, there's a reason you just don't know,
The defensive wall you built up to hide all you've ever felt, it also hides all of those who've felt the same pain though.
It's never going to change unless you let someone in and I'm willing to be the one to help deconstruct this cell,
I'm willing to be the one to take the first step along your side to help carry you out of your isolated hell.
