Suicidal Thoughts

"Tell me how you feel, Cause I wanna know " It's all we left to say once another one goes It's sad ?? we taking count once one is gone And its even harder taking into account when they alive Cause we've grown so tough we hide our pain in Only for it to consume us like the darkness it is And we left with more questions than answers We've lost too many to it already But still some more go, deep they sink And for sure something is wearing them down But we too busy to see it, It's like a rolling stone that's too fast to get hold Like a habit thats now getting out of hand It's a sad tale we keep telling ourselves A story that no one wants to read With communities viewing it differently With people taking different sides While all that's happening is we stalling Not actually dealing with what cripples us I feel that maybe if things were different Where we'd share things and get an ear Where no body laughs when you make a wrong Where a kid is taught its okay being just the way you are Instead of comparing kids to what we think is right Cause some battles are better fought right from the start Listen more to your kids as they talk Listen even in the silence of their actions Create time and just enjoy time together, Instead of always wanting to know what it's in their life At times all they need is the warmth and comfort So that it comes from them to actually share Let them know it's okay to have moments of weakness That it's okay not to always have it And that at times things might go wrong Show them how to deal even in pain That there's always a right side that's left For even storms come to pass and it shines again The PO£T
