Be Strong
Look at the world with hopeful eyes,
Never let them see you down,
put that razor away, put that lighter away
Don't hurt yourself anymore, please, don't frown.
I wish your depression would you see yourself
The true beauty I see:
A smile that makes the dark the brightest day
A laugh that conquers all
Eyes that have seen it all
and a hope--
Not gone, just hidden.
Life is hard, I know
Sometimes, it seems as if it won't get better
But you, yes you have the strength to get up
You can't sit there anymore
You can't let those demons win
Fight them, don't give up
You can do it if you try.
When you win, you'll see it, I promise you will
The world will seem much brighter.
Those demons you have killed?
You don't see them again, I'll make sure you won't.
Promise me you won't cut again, please, just don't.
I will always be here, regardless of what you say.
Please, just don't cut,
Don't put yourself in harm's way.
