Noticing a lot of depressed expression in posts

Everyone faces challenges. We all need to offer more love and support to those around us. Don't take anyones life for granted...You never know what could help them...
Ive been the one left wondering why twice

I wrote this song a while back when dealing with this situation...its called

LOST SOULS

How did I turn down this path leading to tears?
How did I waste so many damn years?
A life lived right took a sharp sudden left
A life lived pretty clean turned into such a big mess
They say to let go, give Jesus the wheel

Let the desperation you feel be revealed...

Chorus

I just want to get back to being me once again
I just need to know that I can count on my friends
I let myself down, my knees now on the ground
Wondering on which side of the grass I should be?

To lose all you built, in the blink of an eye
Face etched in pain, still wondering why
Then a soul comes along and touches your life...
And your darkness is pierced by their light...

End chorus

The darkest of nights, prevents healing light
Alone in your room staring at walls without sight
Future once bright, clearly seen through your eyes
Now those same eyes can't stop their own rain...

Someone throw me a line, don't let me sink
Time spent in my head, but unable to think
Lots of friends spoke about always being there
Now I'm desperate to find someone who cares...

Chorus

I just want to get back, to being me once again
I just need to know that I can count on my friends
I let myself down, my knees now on the ground
Wondering on which side of the grass I should be?

To lose all you built, in the blink of an eye
Face etched in pain, still wondering why
Then a soul comes along and touches your life...

And your darkness is pierced by their light...

End chorus

This path is well travelled by souls who have lost
The battle with their demons that could not be tossed
Dig deep into your heart and respond to their cries
Most are too ashamed to express what they fight

Lots of broken hearts litter this lonely path
Walking real slow while life keeps streaming past
Warning signs flash brightly, that danger is ahead

Can your love be the answer instead?

Chorus

I just want to get back to being me once again
I just need to know that I can count on my friends
I let myself down, my knees now on the ground
Wondering on which side of the grass I should be?

To lose all you built in the blink of an eye
Face etched in pain, still wondering why
Then a soul comes along and touches your life...

And your darkness is pierced by their light

End chorus

Time for those who expressed love for you
To extend a hand to help carry you through
A passionate hug given or a few heartfelt words
May leave a branch without a strangling cord

Expressing concern while looking into their eyes
May compel them to reveal their torment inside
No time to delay, someones life may be at stake...

Any hesitation may leave you too late..

Chorus

I just want to get back to being me once again
I just need to know that I can count on my friends
I let myself down, my knees now on the ground
Wondering on which side of the grass I should be?

To lose all you built in the blink of an eye
Face etched in pain, still wondering why
Then a soul comes along and touches your life...

And your darkness is pierced by their light

End chorus

Another day has passed, another page turned
One step closer to shedding the weight you've borne
When we get caught up in our own little world
Do we overlook those feeling no good?

Extend them your hand, or it may never be known
If a simple loving gesture could comfort their soul
Someones life can be over in the blink of an eye

Don't be the one left to forever wonder why...

I too get down but never depressed
But like you turns glad into a mess
I'll go for a walk though the forest woods
Lifting my spirit so it's all goods
And now I smile and whistle along
As I sing to your lonesome song🎶

@Lilnonames Having a way to find a positive path is great. I have been the one depressed and the one to reach out. I am also the one twice left wondering why and if I could have done something to change what happened.

@Peek4U you can always think you coulda, would should, but you will never know if that outcome would have been worse, never over think, and always have a way out, even your brain with stop and... Get out!!!?
