Life: take 2
For years I cried and no one knew.
Not my mom or my dad, not even you.
I was a girl with friends and family and success.
But something made my heart break inside my chest.
Have you ever felt like you were drowning inside?
At night I sat up, I prayed and I cried,
I prayed that I could feel happy once more.
But that prayer felt like a locked and heavy closed door.
So one day I woke up and decided it was time.
To end a life, which happened to be mine.
Not one not two but 30 pills I took.
My body then quivered, and aggressively shook.
I fell in a deep sleep I thought I'd never wake.
But then I woke up to a warm gentle shake.
The doctor told me God gave me a chance.
To live and sing and happily dance.
He wanted me to stay on this planet a little longer.
To learn about myself and continue to get stronger.
After that day something inside me felt right.
A flame, a passion, my light shined so bright.
And now I call it my Life: Take 2.
So I can help people like you.
Who may feel alone and hurt at night.
And feel to weak to put up a fight.
There is always someone who with you during each day.
As long as you look to the skies and you pray.
