Why I Write
I write to vent my deepest feelings
Even if the feelings are deeply sad
Hope to help someone who shares these feelings
Because alone I struggle and hurt so bad
I haven’t written much for a time
But tonight I’ve wrote a lot
I feel I’ve past my prime
So I put down words, lets give it a shot
I struggle late at night
By myself all alone
I hardly feel right
Stumbling in my home
I have a problem with my mind
It causes me to drink it away
Happiness I try to find
So desperate in my bed I lay
I really do want to believe
That I can get better
But my mind says “they’ll leave”
And All I’m good for is to upset her
I feel depressed and full of fear
That I’ll walk this road forever
Without you to hold me near
On this hopeless endeavor
I love many very deeply
Its hard to know they feel the same
I know my doubts sneak creepily
I hope they at least remember my name
To all those who struggle too
Know you aren’t the only one
Because struggle I certainly do
So please put down the gun.
I love you all so much
Please hold on strong
I hope your hearts I touch
Know your doubts are wrong
