I surround myself in tears.
They all leave me.
Help me, Save me.
I cry out for them.
They don't care.
Why do I endure such pain?
Why don't I just end it?
They'd all be better off without me.
No.
Don't think like that.
Don't let them take you.
Don't give in to the demons.
You can't.
You mustn't.
Think of your friends, your family.
They give you something you need;
Something you haven't had
In a long time.
They give you what you need.
They help you out of this damned state.
They give you,
Hope.
