Say Something

They're killing themselves slowly 

all you have to do is listen closely 

to the screams 

of those who've just lost their dreams

they're feeling so blue inside

contemplating suicide 

but for some reason they wait 

so hurry before it's too late

your influence could mean so much

that's why you should keep in touch 

remember you've been there 

and almost disappeared into thin air

instead of an encouraging word or two

they would try to verbally murder you

but somehow you didn't die

and none of them understood why

just because you were down

didn't mean you would drown

if you realize you have purpose 

you'll always rise to the surface

so you may have something to say

to those who've lost their way

those who live in fear

believing the end is near

those who only see the beauty in dying 

rather than any victory in trying

just a little bit of your time is required

and maybe just maybe they'll be inspired

walking on by is your choice
but sometimes all it takes is a voice
