Hold your heart
- by Ashley Bahr 59
Remember those days when you were young?Life was as easy as it could be
There were laughs, and stories, and dreams
You saw the sunshine and you were free
Well there comes a point when you realize
That you finally have to grow up
And that hiding under your covers
Won't ever be quite enough
I know those days when it feels like
There's no way you can keep going on
Life just isn't worth living
And nothing could be more wrong
Those days when it's such a struggle
Just to pull yourself out of the bed
The depression, it overwhelms you
The fearful thoughts are spinning through your head
Those days when you feel so broken
And the pieces keep falling apart
Your sky grows stormy and gray
Too much pain for this young, burdened heart
You feel like there's no solution
To this riddle or game they call life
And when it's your darkest hour
It is then that I'll show you the light
The light at the end of the tunnel
When you thought maybe this was the end
I promise there's beautiful sunshine
On this dark road with sharp turns and bends
Though it may not always seem it
There's still happiness in this place
And what you have to realize
Is that it takes a little faith
I have always been here with you
Just as I always will be
And when life knocks you down so low
Just put your trust in me
So remember those days when you were young
Life was as easy as it could be
There were laughs, and stories, and dreams
You saw the sunshine and you were free
Well now here in your darkest hour
Get under the covers and turn out the light
Close your eyes and dream, my child
Let me hold your heart tonightFaith Quote
Suicidal thoughts
- by Jonathan Davis 58
I'm trapped in a box with no intentions to survivePraying…. asking God why am I still alive
I go to sleep each night knowing everything I say is a lie
Knowing that is enough for me to breakdown and cry
My father taught me to be tough and conquer your fears
My mother taught me how to love and it's ok to shed a couple tears
I struggle each day to survive living my life with doubt
I'm trapped in a death hole with no hopes of getting out
I've been tormented by the devil ever since I was a little boy
He is the puppet master and I'm his #1 toy
I've been bullied, misunderstood, charged with guilt to my heart
Slowly but surely I'm loosing my mind…. And my heart and soul is falling apart
I can't help myself no matter how hard I try
I need to find a way the clock is winding down to the day I die
It's like the devil has control over me at least that's how it seems
He usually gets me like Freddy Krueger…. When I'm asleep, in my dreams
I was raised in the church my mom said when you're in trouble look for a way in the light
But I'm too lost in the world and blinded by the night
At this point in my life I am mentally unstable
But I'm going to keep my eyes on God because I know he is able
I have worn a mask all my life nobody knows or understands me
They think I have it all good… look harder and you will really see
I love you mom and I'm really trying to find a way
But the only way you can help me is to continue to pray
There were times you never listened to what I had to say
That's part of the reason I am who I am today
But I'm on the right track I'm determined to find my way
All because you said you loved me and it will be ok
I used to live each day with no hopes for tomorrow
Walking with my head down filled with shame and sorrow
There were times where I felt I was on the world's hit list
So depressed my face looking like death ready to slit my wrists
As a man I feel for myself I have to provide
It's enough pressure for a man to commit suicide
As I engraved death in my arm I started to bleed
Even though God is all I want and all that I need
Stress is building up in my heart and mind
Wondering when my time is up and if I'm ready to die
I put the gun to my head and closed my eyes
I said Lord take me now I'm ready to die
As I pulled the trigger no bullet came out
Then I thought to myself aren't I suppose to be dead now
I opened my eyes and saw the light
A voice said I love you with all my might
If it was my mom I don't know why
Then they said I love you it's not time for you to die
So as I look to the sky I thank God for saving me
If it weren't for him I don't know where I would be
I know its all over my faith has been restored
I have no thoughts of death…. evil can't touch me anymore
Now you know who I used to be and how I became the new me
When I was trapped in a box…….. But now I'm free
