Does He Know What He's Doing?

Does he know what he's doing?
To his very own sister
She can't eat or sleep
She always worries about him
It's almost like he doesn't care

Does he know what he's doing?
Tries to take his own life
Leave the ones that love him
He wants the suffering to stop
They only try to help

Does he know what he's doing?
Ignoring all the help
He says he's alright
But his loved ones still fight
They say this is good for him
But will he ever really change?

Does he really know what he's doing?

When love one put themselves in a bottle we can see them, but cannot touch them through their shield of glass ... and we have nothing to shield us from the pain ... but prayer.
