suicide is not an option.

Hello
I'm here because I've chosen you to be my companion
I'll be in your every thought
Every second, every minute, every hour, every day
I have entered your mind
To feed off your most desolate thoughts and memories
I will bring you peace with the fact that your sadness
Is your happy place
And you will realize that your depression isn't sadness
It is the only thing that brings you joy
There is no reason for you to be afraid
I am the only one that understands what you're going through
I am your escape and giving up is not an option
And until I'm satisfied, I will continue to feed off your fears
Just remember that I will always be here for you

I have never really come out with my feelings of depression
Because I always thought about how people would see me
Where I come from
People don't see depression for what it really is
And how it is biting at young men and women today
I was always taught to be strong
To ignore my sad feelings and not let my emotions control me
But how are you meant to take hold of the major thing
That is affecting your sanity
And not let it slip you away into the depths called suicide

Suicide is not an option

I've read books, I've talked to people, I've gone to therapy
And I've realized that, you should not look for an escape in this
I am not looking for an escape in this
I'm just looking for a way to live and survive in the predicament
Not because I don't wanna choose the easier way out
But because I'm tired of letting go
And losing everything that ties me to being a human being
So from today
I'll choose to hang on much longer
And I'll continue to live with my humanity

Suicide is not an option
