Why

He sits staring into space Feeling like nobody cares Feeling like he's all alone Nobody to turn to Nobody to talk to He feels like he's being ripped apart He wanders if anyone knows how he feels inside If anyone knows about the recurring thoughts of suicide He wanders if anyone can still see the scars If anyone cares enough to ask To ask why Why did you do it Why He goes from day to day confused Wandering why he did the crap that he did The drugs The alcohol The razors Wandering why he ever did Knowing that they were wrong Knowing that they saved his live But still wandering why He wanders if there is a way out He prays daily for the pain to go away But it always seams to come back He wanders why God lets the pain keep coming back He prays for a answer An answer as to why Why does the pain keep coming back Why He sits in the dark crying Scared to let anybody know Scared of rejection He knows exactly what it's like To sit in a crowded room And feel totally and completely alone He fights to restrain the tears All because of his biggest fear All because he knows that if anyone hears Things will only get worse Why is the world so cruel Why He has a hard time trusting people He feels that he cant That he cant tell anybody how he feels He's been betrayed to many times Why is the world so cold, So cruel Why He wanders why cant they accept you for who you are Why do they feel that they have to lower and degrade others To make themselves feel better He wanders why they cause so many to kill themselves He wanders why the world is so so cold So cruel The only thing that keeps this guy from killing himself Is the kind words of the few good people who actually care Who show compassion to others Even if they don't know them They love them like they do He thanks God for these people These people who kept him alive And if you're wandering who this person is It's me I still need your prayers I'm still having problems I go in and out of anger and depression Sometimes for no reason at all Your prayers help me And you're all heroes Weather you know it or not You saved my life So to all of my real friends And the people who helped me Even though you didn't know me THANK YOU From the bottom of my heart

Donovin - My heart bled for you as I read this poem - When I was in Prison I learned something that I'll never forget - When we look back it causes pain because of all the mistakes we made - when looking forwards we have the fear we will fail - Live in today and be Strong Inside - Set your goals for that one day and just make it one day at a time - god Bless
