Better Days
Looking for hope
Tired of this pain
I have to choose
The road I take
I wish I
Could feel
The joy that
I once felt
But now
It is gone
My heart sings
Out this song
Wish it was just a dream
This wasn't happening
Loking for better days
Than the words that I say
I wish this wasn't real
Everything that I feel
Wishing for better things
Than the words that I sing
I don't know where
I want to go
But I know that
Time is so slow
I wish I
Could feel
The joy that
I once felt
But now
It is gone
My heart sings
Out this song
Wish it was just a dream
This wasn't happening
Loking for better days
Than the words that I say
I wish this wasn't real
Everything that I feel
Wishing for better things
Than the words that I sing
I feel broken
But I keep walking
Cause I know that
There will be better days
I feel broken
But I keep moving
Cause I know that
I've had worse days
Wish it was just a dream
This wasn't happening
Loking for better days
Than the words that I say
I wish this wasn't real
Everything that I feel
Wishing for better things
Than the words that I sing

This is a song I wrote about depression and thoughts of suicide from my own experiences, from my friends' experience, and a song I wrote for a friend who ended their own life. I wanted to be able to change people with this song; I wanted to let people get a better understanding and become more aware about suicide, and how it is a problem. I also want people to know that, if they are going through a hard time, they should keep going forward. I don't remember all of the original lyrics, and I've changed a bit of it, but most of it I remembered and left the same.
