(*TW* - The 'S' Word) I don't wish to sound cliched by stating that creativity is a valuable coping mechanism for many us - but it truly is. Believe me when I tell you, I've seen both sides: having, in the past, desperately not wanted to be here anymore as well as worrying tremendously for others who may be experiencing similar thoughts today. I know I cannot change the world, but maybe this song will find you. If it does, regardless of what you think of it, please take one deep breath at a time and seek advice when you feel ready:

(LYRICS)

Look around you
Tell me of a heavy thought
Remember that I see you
I see you
Your heart is beating
Forever dreaming

Who you are
And where to go or what you ought to
Lay it down I hear you
I hear you
A lonesome feeling
Steadily healing

Names and photographs
Sweet prayers upon a stem
I wish I wish I wish
We knew them

If your spirit
Treads towards another land
I’ll climb the skies to find you
I’ll find you
Won’t grieve alone here
I’ll take you home, dear

Above the surface
Step by step and hand in hand
In absent time, I’ll hold you
I’ll hold you
It’s so entrancing
How we are dancing

Names and photographs
Sweet prayers upon a stem
I wish I wish I wish
We knew them
