I know that this life gets hard sometimes
I know that depression's running through your mind
I know that sometimes you just want to cry
But nobody understands so you close your eyes
I know that sometimes you just want to die
I know that sometimes you just wonder why
They leave you on your own just to fight this fight
But I promise you that you gone get through tonight

Cause I've seen it with my own eyes
And I've felt it in my own life
Yeah I've seen it with my own eyes
Yeah I've seen it with my own eyes
And I've felt it in my own life
Yeah I've seen it with my own eyes
And I've felt it in my own life

Gone slow down

I know about' the feelings that you're feeling deep within
And I know that sometimes all you want is the evidence
That life gone get better
And that the pain fades away
I know you're under the weather
And wanna see brighter days
I know that you're in a chapter you wish that you could erase
I know that life gets hard
And you've been losing faith
And I know
You feel like nobody cares
And I know
You feel like nobody's there
But I swear
That everything you're going through
Is just gone make you stronger
But only if you can promise to

Just
Hold On
Don't lose
Control
Now
Just
Hold On




That pain
Gone slow down

"One day after my suicide"

The day after my suicide, I loved my mother even more, when I saw her crying on the floor of my room, hugging my clothes with my photos scattered around her, I saw so much love past the tears in her eyes.

The day after my suicide, I felt how much my father loved me, no matter how hard it was, in the midst of so much sadness, he spoke to me with tears in his eyes about how proud he was of me and how much he loved me.

The day after my suicide, I saw Tumble (my furry best friend) was more incredible than I could imagine. Everytime someone came home, he would run to the door excited to see me, and seeing that it was not me, would lay down in front of the door and continue waiting for me.

The day after my suicide, I felt the love of my sister when I saw her sitting in her room with eyes full of tears. She remembered the times we played, talked and argued together in our beautiful childhood. Treasured moments.

The day after my suicide, I felt how important I was to my best friends. They were looking at all our pictures together...remembering the laughs we shared.

The day after my suicide, I felt the sorrow in my teachers. They blamed themselves for not noticing.

At night I went to the morgue to look for myself and said: "So many dreams we had", "So many loved ones", "So many people to meet", "You had so many people that loved you, yet you threw it all away?", "You have to have a lot of courage to take your life. Why didn't you use that courage to win?"

Thank goodness that was just a vision.

Remember: You are still here and can change your life forever. You are better than you think you are. Prettier, smarter and stronger.

Make this yours. Save it to notes and read it later.

Disclaimer: This is not my story I just wanted to spread it because maybe it helps some people :)
