TRUST - 12/18/2009

hold my hand
look into my eyes
trust me honestly
i repeat, trust me

i understand your pain
i understand the word "insane"
when the wave crashes down
stand firm, i will not let go
you don't even know me, but thats ok

i am the same as you
i am living on the other side of the fence now
i made it somehow
it can be done
it will change one day for the better

i speak from experience
not from blind truth
you can rise up against it
winning and grinning
back to the freedom of normalcy

you need professional help to beat it
you cannot win alone
you are to weak and beaten down to fight back
you are to weak cause it always attacks
i do understand, they might not, but i do
don't expect them to know true anxiety & depression
be thankful they don't understand

you are not suffering alone
i am suffering with you
millions are suffering alone
let's decrease the millions to thousands
but seek professional help
don't be afraid
i was afraid also
but i see a variety of many pretty colors now
not just black
i was once dead
but now i am back

hold your hand out into the air
i am there cause i care
trust me honestly
i repeat, trust me
set yourself free
