This is for everyone hanging on by a thread
Trust me, people will miss you if you’re dead
No one hates you as much as you do
No one knows what all you’ve gone through
Feels like you’re alone but I promise you’re not
It could be slight yet you’ll always have a shot
A shot at finding love, hope, or to get better
Hopefully you’ll burn the suicide letter
There will be a day you smile again
A day where you won’t feel the horrible pain
A time will come where all hope is lost
Yeah sure you could end it but at what cost
To throw away the chance of redemption?
It’s hard but don’t give into the depression
For every story has an ending
Our stories here are still ascending
The time will come for us to fly away
But that day is far from today
So pick yourself back up off the floor
Keep on pushing on more and more
Reach out to someone else in need
Talk to people out of love and not of greed
We’ll make it through this if we stick together
I can’t sit here and promise forever
But we’ll last longer if we stand side by side
Stop isolating and start to feel alive inside
I believe things will get better for us
Keep on trying, for Jarad, Jahseh, and Gus
Or for anyone else you’ve lost before
You’re not alone behind that closed door
I guarantee you’re a reason someone smiles
So keep on keeping on, like I do for Miles
You have to keep getting up when you fall
I promise it gets better, I love you all
