Lone But Not Alone

What do we do,when friends wish to die,shall we comfort them, and silence their cry.
What are we suppose to do, to help them out. To listen the screaming, and hear all their shouts.
Worst of all, when you try so hard.  You push them away, and close their heart.
But to stop trying, means you don't care. Best thing to do, is show them your there.
 They do not see you, and how you have felt.  And how much it hurts, when nothing will help.
 You see this cycle, so close it is break.  But no matter your word, they see it as fake
I'm here  here till the ending.  What else can I do.  I want you to notice, my words are true.
But now its certain. That I'm talking to walls. Because the person I speak to, can hear any of my calls
The heart breaking Truth, you cant pick them up.  Even though they are thirsty, they won't drink from your cup.
The best thing to do.  Is take my step back.  They are the ones, who can show them the facts.
They need to stand up.  All on there own, then they will notice, they're not alone.
Peer pressure is hounding, they feel like they've drown.  But the one who are there for them, is the reason they're down
They must get their strength, from them selves with in.  And soon all the darkness, will bring them to grin
They choose their destiny, they set them selves free, they're in shackles and chains, but they hold the key.
They must stop it. they must  choose to fight,  you can can show them away. But they bring the light.
You may lead them to water, you may make them think, but they aren't your slaves, you can't make them drink
Let them strive, all on their own. They  can walk through this fire. And find their way home
