A man that is dead, does not mean he is gone A man that is gone, does not mean he is dead For a man who is dead, can merely just be alone And for a man that is gone, could be a soul who is lost And once a man is alone, he shall not turn to a living soul, for the help that he desires Because if he chooses to do so, he will be seen as weak, by all the "passerbyers," He wished a person came just to check, Someone to check on him, someone to see. For he is alone and lost, until he wraps his neck And swings from a branch of a tree.

A Man Who Is Dead
A man that is dead, does not mean he is gone A man that is gone, does not mean he is dead For a man who is dead, can merely just be alone And for a man that is gone, could be a soul who is lost And once a man is alone, he shall not turn to a living soul, for the help that he desires Because if he chooses to do so, he will be seen as weak, by all the "passerbyers," He wished a person came just to check, Someone to check on him, someone to see. For he is alone and lost, until he wraps his neck And swings from a branch of a tree.
Men are 4 times likely to commit suicide than women. Men's mental health needs to be recognized more. Everyone's mental health is important. You matter.
