The thing about people with mental illnesses
whomever they be;
you, or a friend, or a loved one, or just someone you see at school
you can't save them
they have to want to save themselves
you can help them, and you can try so hard
but the only person that can save them is themselves
and i know that that piece of information can tear someone apart
because when people care about someone, they just want to help
and when they can't they just feel so helpless
but you can help
you can be there for them
and i know that sometimes that can be a little challenging
but you can be there for them;
all day, all night, and sometimes when they don't want you
you can help by sometimes doing things
sometimes you might have to call someone
because sometimes situations get bad
but you might have to go with your instinct
you can help them by being there
by picking them up when they fall
by sticking by there side through thick and thin
because if you stay with them they might learn they're not alone
and that might urge them to help themselves
you may not be able to save them
but you can be the thing that pushes them to help themselves
you just need to love them unconditionally
you just need to be there strength when they're weak
you just need to be there friend when they feel alone
you just need to there reminder that they are a warrior and they can win this war
that they can save them self
they are strong enough to do anything
and the thing with people with mental illnesses
the demons erase the knowledge of having strength
but you can be the teacher that shows them that they do
and they can use their strength and **** the demons
