I Know How You Feel

I am a survivor of suicide I know how you feel
Your life has changed and nothing seems real
The first few months you were full of grief and despair
Everywhere you looked hoping they would be there
You would catch yourself looking at others their age
Your heart now broken your mind full of rage
Each day that you awake and slowly went by
You felt like saying now it's my turn to die
Your pain so deep your sorrow so new
You don't understand that this happened to you
Holidays come and their birthday goes by
That first year after all you do is cry
You would never think that their would be
A time when you wouldn't be so lonely
The pain and sorrow does lessen with time
But the day they died is always on your mind
No answers are found you search far and wide
You will never understand why they chose to die
Doctors and shrinks all talk the same jive
They have no clue their kids still alive
Even the clergy falls flat on it's face
To them they think it's such a disgrace
So where do you turn when nobody understands
To a place on the net where we walk hand in hand
For we were once new to grief like you
For we have been there this is sadly true
Now we are here to guide and ease your pain
For we are like you and will never be the same
