They All Fall Down

Thread Topic: They All Fall Down
-
Left, we feel we're all alone.
Right, we breathe, but our hearts have gone cold.
Even now, tears stain my face.
As I feel my friends slipping, into life's awful race.
Listening to family speak of their darkened lives,
and their declarations of self-hatred pierce me like knives.
And I wish there was something that I could do,
so many things I'd have done, if I could actually reach you.
But I can't, so I just watch the words flow,
as so many feel that life is too much to undergo.
And I can never find the words to insist that they're wrong.
I know in the end, I'll probably have waited far too long.
My brothers and sisters will fall all around me,
and I won't cover my eyes, and pretend like I don't see.
You, even those I haven't truly met,
are family to me. Please don't forget.
It hurts like hell to watch you suffer this way,
and to know that nothing I do will make you feel it's okay.
And to be afraid every night, that when I awake,
you'll have ended yourselves, thinking you were a mistake.
I don't want to hear it anymore,
you all thinking you've nothing to live for.
I won't turn away from you and let you talk yourself down,
even when you think you've nothing left, I'll still be around.
Because I don't want you to feel the way that I do.
It's hard to see that my friends hurt this way, too.
And I can't stop it, no matter what.
Forgive how useless I act, but please keep my love.
Yes, I said love, I do love you all.
You will always have someone trying to catch you before you fall.
And there are plenty more people, despite what you think.
Friends and family, who don't want to watch you sink.
Please don't say that it's not worth it, because it really is.
If you won't think about you, then think about this.
All the people who love you, and yes, there are some.
People who really, truly love you, and who you love.
How they would suffer knowing how you feel inside.
How if you ended it all, how they'd feel they had died.
Think about people like me, who want to see your life's happiness found.
And don't do anything to yourself, or they'll all fall down.
