I love you all - if you're considering suicide or are just plain sad, please give this a read. Let it give you hope.

So you're standin on the ledge

It looks like you might fall

Its so far down

Or maybe you were thinkin about jumpin

Now you could have it all

If you learned a little patience

For though I cannot fly

I'm not content to crawl

So give me a little credit

Have in me a little faith

I wanna be with you forever

If tomorrow's not too late

But its always too late when you got nothin

So you say

You should never let the sun set on tomorrow

Before the sun rises today

If I am

Another waste of everything you dreamed of

I will let you down

If I am

Only here to watch you as you suffer

I will let you down

So you're walkin on the edge

And you wait your turn to fall

But you're so far gone

That you don't see the hands upheld to catch you

And you could find the fault

In the heart that you've been handed

For though you cannot fly

You're not content to crawl

And its always too late when you got nothin

So you say

But we should never let the sun set on tomorrow

Before the sun rises

If I am

Another waste of everything you hoped for

I will let you down

If I am

Only here to watch you as you suffer

I will let you down

So you're standin on the ledge

It looks like you might fall

If I am

Another waste of everything you dreamed of

I will let you down

If I am

Only here to watch you as you suffer

I will let you down

The answers we find

Are never what we had in mind

So we make it up as we go along

You don't talk of dreams

When i won't mention tomorrow

And we won't make those promises that we can't keep

I will never leave you

I will not let you down

I will never leave you

I will not let you down

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend

You could cut ties with all the lies, that you've been living in

And if you do not want to see me again

I would understand, I would understand

The angry boy, a bit too insane

Icing over a secret pain

You know you don't belong

You're the first to fight

You're way too loud

You're the flash of light on a burial shroud

I know something's wrong

Well, everyone I know has got a reason

To say put the past away

Wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend

You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in

And if you do not want to see me again

I would understand, I would understand

And well, he's on the table

And he's gone to code

And I do not think anyone knows

What they are doing here

And your friends have left you

You've been dismissed

I never thought it would come to this

And I, I want you to know

Everyone's got to face down the demons

Maybe today we can put the past away

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend

You could cut ties with all the lies

That you've been living in and if you do not want to see me again

I would understand, I would understand, I would understand

I would understand

I would understand

Understand

Can you put the past away?

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend

I would understand

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend

I would understand

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend

And I would understand

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend

I would understand

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend

And I would understand

No one sits with him, he doesn't fit in

But we feel like we do when we make fun of him

Cause you want to belong do you go along

Cause his pain is the price paid for you to belong

It's not like you hate him or want him to die

But maybe he goes home and thinks suicide

Or he comes back to school with a gun at his side

And a kindness from you might have saved his life

Chorus

Heroes are made when you make a choice

You could be a hero

Heroes do whats right

You could be a hero, You might save a life

You could be a hero, You could join a fight

For whats right for whats right for whats right

Verse 2

No one talks to her, she feels so alone

Shes in too much pain to survive on her own

The hurt she cant handle overflows to a knife

She writes on her arm, wants to give up her life

Each day she goes on is a day that she's brave,

Fighting the lie that giving up is the way,

Each moment of courage her own life she saves when she throws the pills out, a hero is made

(Chorus)

No one talks to him about how he lives

He thinks that the choices he makes are just his

Doesn't know he's a leader with the way he behaves

And others will follow the choices hes made

He lives on the edge, hes old enough to decide

His brother who wants to be him is just nine

He can do what he wants because its his right

The choices he makes change a nine year olds life

[Chorus]

[Rap]

Little Mikey D was in the one class

Who everyday got brutally harassed

This went on for years

Until he decided that never again

Would he shed another tear

So he walked through the door

Grabbed the 44 out of his father's dresser drawer

And said I can't take life no more

And like that life can be lost

But this ain't even about that

All of us just sat back

And watch it happen

Thinkin' it's not our responsibility

To solve a problem that isn't even about me

This is our problem

This is just one of the daily scenarios

Which we choose to close our eyes

Instead of doing the right thing

If we make a choice

And be the voice

For those who won't speak up for themselves

How may lives would be saved, changed, and rearranged

Now it's our time to pick a side

So don't keep walking by

Don't wanna intervene

Cause you just wanna exist and never be seen

So let's wake up

Change the world

Our time is now

Chorus

This world, this world is cold

But you don’t, you don’t have to go

You’re feeling sad you’re feeling lonely

And no one seems to care

You’re mother’s gone and your father hits you

This pain you cannot bare

But we all bleed the same way as you do

We all have the same things to go thru

Hold on...if you feel like letting go

Hold on...it gets better than you know

Your days you say they’re way too long

And your nights you can’t sleep at all (hold on)

And you’re not sure what you’re looking for

But you don’t want to no more

And you’re not sure what you’re waiting for but you don’t want to no more

But we all bleed the same way as you do

And we all have the same things to go through

Hold on...if you feel like letting go

Hold on...it gets better than you know

Don’t stop looking you’re one step closer

Don’t stop searching it’s not over...hold on

What are you looking for?

What are you waiting for?

Do you know what you’re doing to me?

Go ahead...what are you waiting for?

Hold on...if you feel like letting go

Hold on...it gets better than you know

Don’t stop looking you’re one step closer

Don’t stop searching it’s not over...

Hold on...if you feel like letting go

Hold on...it gets better than you know...hold on

Thanks for the link, moogs, but I couldn't bear to read very many of them before I had to close the link....too painful.

Since we're posting depressing yet uplifting songs, here's one that made me cry a few times. This song is beautiful to me and given how much I've hid from the world and how much I still do this song has a personal truth to it.

[curiositykilledthecat]

I just find myself at a point where I'm losing who I am amongst other people's problems around me. It seems like all too often people are so caught up with their problems that they don't respect your own. This is for anyone on here, don't ignore your own issues at the expense of others, or they could get worse.

Great finds. I know where I need to look when I'm feeling low.
