We try so hard to fit in
We try so hard to be normal
We try to be the best son/daughter
The best husband/wife
The best parent/grandparent
We try so hard to be all these things
As set out and laid down by society
Until it gets for some to much
And when it does it gets too much
Grinds them down
And acts like a weight
First upon their shoulders
Then upon their chest
Until one day the find it hard to breathe
They become scared the shout they scream for help
But no one notices or they look away
For trying to gain attention makes you appear abnormal.
The more you struggle
The harder to breathe
And people just keep passing by
Unwilling to help
Scared your plight is infectious
Afraid they may not know how to help
Afraid they may fail.
So the stay within their comfort zone
And simply walk on by
Whilst you struggle to breathe
Stuggle to survive
Before going under.
Your life then becomes one of sedation and drugs
And all the screaming
All the self harming
Doesn’t change a thing
Your subconscious is set in this programming
And it’s controlling your conscious mind
And no one else can see the beauty that’s within
And the uniqueness that is you.
Self love is lost
Forgiveness of self is lost
Identity and self belief has long since departed.
How far have you dissapeared in to the shadows of your mind
How dark now is your life.

We need to reach out to those in pain to those suffering
And suffocating.
For there for the grace of God go we.
Show love
Show compassion
Show kindness
To all for we are one
And when one falls
we all fall
So hold out a hand
Be the help
Be the one that doesn’t just walk on by.
