Smile
I see That face day by day,
But for some reason I can't make it stay
I see it fade far beyond my control
Deep down I wish I could say how much it hurt my soul
That beautiful smile
I have not seen in quite a while
I do not know what is wrong
I tried even to write a song
To maybe make their smile come back
But it seems that power is something I lack
I don't want to say the wrong thing
So maybe I just shouldn't sing
Because that might just be what pushes it to far
And it might lead to the killing of my star
I wish that I could make them stay
Or that there was something I could say
To make the world seem less bleak
But it seems I only have this week
The days fade by and nothing has changed
I think the sorrow may start to affect others brains
It seems that sadness has begun to extend
To more of this world than just my friend
It also seems my weeks reached its end
And that now I have truly lost that friend
Now I guess I'm alone in this world
And my sadness has fully unfurled
Maybe I should just join my friend
And for once put this all to an end
But I won't because I know it's not right
So I guess for now I'm alone in this night
The stars have left my moon is gone
Now all I have left is my song
Which I will sing till the night is done
And I can finally see my sun
But for now I will try to keep my smile
Even through this sorrowful trial

I had a friend who wanted to take their life, and for just a moment it caused me to think about taking my own. I realized suicide only trasfers your pain to the people you care about or who cared about you. I can tell you now, no matter who you are, someone cares about you. If you think no one does, talk to me, and i'll care about you, because no one should have to take their life. (p.s that friend is still alive)
