STATE OF MIND

I'm in a messed up state of mind
Directions seeming out of line
Heart constricted all the time
This rigidity always in my soul

I'm in a chaotic state of mind
The gates won't even open to let the water flow
The waters take with them the pain
But now they are locked up and building pressure from within.

I'm in a calm state of mind
Anything can happen now
It's the calm before the storm
And i hope it's not gonna flood

SUICIDE

So you're feeling depressed
Feeling yourself a mess
So many emotions compressed
Because you're so stressed
Because everyone makes jest
Suicide isn't the solution

You're being oppressed
Your rights being suppressed
No freedom to express
You feel like fleeing the nest
Because life is not your interest
Suicide isn't the solution

Take a look around
And see that you're blessed
See how far you've progressed
See your family that love you and want for you the best
The family that was always there even when you regressed
Suicide isn't the solution

So what legacy are you leaving your children?
What lessons will your actions teach them?
That when life hits them hard they should just kill themselves?
Is that really what you want for them?
No! Just hold on and be there for them
Suicide is never the solution

Wake up and realize
You have much to die for
But you have so much more to live for
Feel alive be alive and stay alive because
Suicide is never the solution
