 BEHIND THE MASK OF BEAUTY

Suicidal Mind




Have you ever tried to understand
And not just judge
Try listening to that person
All they want is love

Have you sat down and talked
To those who try to commit suicide
Those who's only desire
Is to someday end their life

In their mind their thinking
" Why do you care?
You wouldn't know anything
Because you were never there!"

Have you ever looked them in the eyes
Try to understand their pain
Did you really try your best
TO get them to explain

Have they ever given up on you
When you just wanted to help
You wanted to just try to understand
For them to tell you how they felt

Did you get the bad news
That phone call that changes your day
The person on the other line tells you
Your friend has passed away

Let me give you some tips
On how suicidal people feel
Why you can't just ignore them
You have to realize it's real

Some people feel alone
They feel so empty inside
They feel nothing but pain
They always seem to cry

They really want to talk to someone
But there is no trust
They've been hurt so bad before
That they don't accept any kind of love

Maybe they were hurt in the past
But no one was willing to talk
Maybe they were blamed
For something that was not their fault

No one will listen
They would just point and stare
Family and friends turned their backs
They felt like no one cared

Maybe it was a teenager who did drugs
who was too addicted to put it to an end
They wanted to find help
But had no real true friends

In those moments of silence
Look into their eyes
Their screaming for help
You have to realize

All they want is someone to listen
To just give them time
Someone to sit down and hear
What's going through their mind

You can't just give up on them
You can't just turn away
You have to keep trying
Or you'll get that call one day
