I didn't feel like making a new thread so I'm bumping this one that has nothing in it. Here's a poem to everyone and anyone. You aren't alone.
Here we are in this together, alone
You're here, I'm there but there's no one to be seen
But there's much to be felt
Your past days are painful and so alone,
people just walk right on by not knowing a clue
because they only see what they want to
Cold hearts who were pure as gold once
before the end of a horrible relationship or being beat in the street
there was a time where they could open up their hearts and feel alive
but there's you in the background, still alive and a stubborn soul
fighting to do what's right and go against the pull of lifes flows.
It's so easy to blow in that direction with little thought because
that's what the world wants us to do.
Sometimes it's easier being in an enclosed room rather than out there in the fast pace
where you can feel yourself and become a little more human again.
Play a little music from when the days were good and young
Lots of yellow blasting in your face with a sparkle of blue in the background
bright greenery and the smell of fresh pine
I put on my headphones and close my eyes and I am there again.
Please pick yourself up off the ground and open your eyes
isn't there so much more to this life?
I know it isn't easy and you can be beaten back to the lowest floors of the world
but you've been there before, and been back to tell the story
You are not really all that alone
Fact is, we're too busy looking at ourselves and the emptiness inside
that we forget that the person next to us is probably about to jump.
Put your hand out and see what you may grab a hold of
You could save a life; you could end up saving your own.
I love you.
The love is that not of selfish thought, it's to all of us out there in the world
who are struggling to keep ourselves alive and getting past each day without falling further.
In this all together, in a massive world, filled with people, alone.
Keep looking up, and think of your neighbor.
Are they really all that happy?
Through that smile is a soul who has cried, died a little inside, lost a loved one.
They have lived this life much longer than you.
That smile must give you hope for yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
There's more to life beyond the cracked window pane you stare out of.
But you know that
And I know you know that
you're searching for something that can't be seen but you know it's out there.
If only the windows of our souls were as easy to see through
Break this wall down and watch it crumble to the ground
So I could get to you, and destroy the entire house you know is trapping you inside.
The walls are comforting yet terrifying.
If you must keep them up, please, may I step inside the door?
I don't like to see you all alone and in pain
there's so much more to you than you know
and what really matters is that you can find it in yourself to see it too.
And know you are cared about and thought of
even if you can't see it right now.
