#imhere
You are a house with every door left open, letting everyone in to move the furniture until there is no room left for you to sit down. You fold yourself into their corners, trying to fit inside the boxes they built, while your own life stays packed away in the dark. I'm here. I see the way you disappear into their smiles. I see the escape you’re looking for in the quiet moments before someone else’s hand reaches out to take your time. You are a ghost in your own kitchen, catering a plate you aren’t allowed to eat. I'm here. And I am standing here, the eldest, the anchor, feeling the rope fraying against the rocks. I see you, but my hands are full of my own wreckage. I want to reach out, to pull you onto the shore, but the waves are pulling at me, too. I'm here. I want to help... I want to help! I want to help help me, help me! HELP YOU! The words are a knot in my throat that won't untie. I am screaming into the wind because if I don't save you, who will? But if I don't save myself, I am gone. I'm here.

I'm here sister.
Would it be such a bad thing to fall just once? Thoughts flood, and some are screaming loud Others will be missed, leaving without a sound Holding your hands up to the sky, to catch the rain as it falls And for once, I think you'll sit in silence with me. But you never made the call

Stay
I’m barely alive, been up since five And I can’t fall asleep I can’t remember last night, got too high Now she won’t even talk to me I know I can’t hide, been trying to run These thoughts just follow me Can you save my life and make it right? Or is it just all of me?

Still here
I wonder if death is the pen in the story of my life and that life is the paper like the canvas of an artist I wonder if the pen burst or if I have a creative author I wonder and wish even more that my paper can just end and my story can be published in your library of life I wish, oh I wish the paper will befriend the pen like the beauty tamed the beast and the sugar of sin held him tight

Hey there.
For the broken For the lost For the confused I’m here For those who need a hand to hold For those curled up in a ball on the floor For the scared I’m here I will hold your hand I will help you up I will stand up for you I’m here

I’m here
"I am worried about you"       "Don't be I'm fine I promise" "Please just talk to me"       "I'll text you tomorrow" "Okay.. I love you"      "I love you more" That was the last conversation I had with my best friend before he attempted suicide. He lives across the country and is currently getting help in a mental hospital. If you're thinking about suicide, please stop. Someone cares about you, I promise.

I'm worried
She was there. 7:25pm I'm out with some friends., we find a spot on a hill, I know some of the people, I don't know some of the people. I'm there having a good time. Trying to make conversation, not seeming like a complete loner loser. I make due with what social skills I have left. 10:45pm The fireworks have started, sparks of colour fill the sky and loud exploding noises fill my ears. It's so dark out. I watched the sunset not too long ago... The sounds, the exploding bursts of shimmer and shine. The fireworks are so vibrant, so alive... I don't feel scared to die right now... Maybe I should, but I don't. 11:30pm I found my car and the parking lot is filled with people trying to get out. I grab a map and sit on the trunk of my car as I wait for an opening. The night is calm if you don't pay mind to the drivers. And I don't, I just stare at the map, searching for a way home. 12:30am I made it home about 10 minutes ago and I'm not tired yet. I make myself a cup of hot chocolate and sit at my computer watching episodes of an old sitcom from a time I didn't live in. 2:00am I'm here. Lying in my bed, next to nothing and no one. It was only hours ago that I didn't feel so scared. And now I'm here. She wasn't there was she? She couldn't have been... If she was, I couldn't possibly have... She was there. She was. Our paths just missed each other. Never crossing. Just hours ago, I was watching fireworks. And now I'm here. Watching the darkness.

Fireworks
Every night, I'm always sleep with a smile Ready to seeing you in my dream You just look fine, but you didn't show your smile Is that signal you broke inside? I don't know Trying to cheer you up And you crying, sob on my shoulder Glad with you on my caress Then I close my eyes Just wanna obsess yours I know you wasn't real But I'm waiting For you and your thoughts.

.....
It is when I look at you or just the memory of you The universe seems to have shifted And I died.

Have you ever felt trapped? It doesn't need to be literal That dark suffocating feeling Like you're being dragged down You struggle everyday You cry every night And it feels like People are pulling you down even more Will you give me a chance? Will you listen to a stranger's advice? I may not love you but I know you're amazing Eventually you'll understand Giving up now, Is a waste of time So, live another day, please? Should we continue playing? The game of life Where the challenge is to survive another day Until you reach the goal The goal, Having a satisfied you

One More Day
My hands are too small I can't catch all of your pain I wish I could save you from yourself But I am not strong enough To beat the darker parts of you And the lighter parts of you Are no match for your inner demons But God I wish I could take your pain And bear your burdens for you I promise you though You are a candle Candles flicker But they always flicker back to shining There's no sense in blowing out a candle Just because it is flickering It will be okay.
