Substitute For Suicidal Ideation
I was told to change my ways
lift the haze
or lessened were my days to follow
I try my best
to get out of my chest
that which makes reality hard to swallow
After a while
I wore a smile
that you and I were grateful to see
But what can seem sublime
will fall to time
and knock us to our knees
Sometimes we pretend we're fine
we make words rhyme
so its not a burden to read.
But it is too often
we wait for their coffin
before we see how much we let them bleed.
There are a few
that I always knew
would keep me in their thoughts.
To these men
that I call friends
you are the salvation that I sought.
Though still in pain
I am not the same
I have better ways to deal with sorrow.
Because even after rain
I stay sane
and have hope for a brighter tomorrow.
