No one need


I'm tired of the people fleeting, 

Stop letting life be defeating.

There is no one thing that's going to save you,

Although together, faith, hope and love can get you through.

Get out of your shell,

Hiding and hoping that things will just automatically get well.

You know what this doesn't have to rhyme,

Because I'm speaking my mind.

Life can suck.

There is no magic potion to stop that.

And sometimes you won't want to get out of bed,

some even think of shooting themselves in the head.

Heck, I've been there, I get that.

Society makes you believe that drugs and alcohol are all that you need,

I say that's stupid.

Just temporary fixes.

No, what you really need is people,

not the terrible ones that got you into this mess.

No, what you really need is the faith that you can get out of this.

No, what you really need is the hope it takes to get healthy.

No, what you really need is the love this life can provide you.

Embrace it.

Stop hiding, and open up your damn heart.

Risk yourselves or this world will tare you apart.
