This is For Those of Us

This is for those of us
Who know what it's like
To sit on the cold bathroom floor
With a gun pressed to our head

This is for those of us
Who know what it's like
To lay in our bed
Crying as all those thoughts run free in our mind

This is for those of us
Who know what it's like
To have a handful of pills
And decide whether to take them or not

This is for those of us
Who thought they wouldn't make it to the next day
Who struggle to survive another minute or our lives
And made it today

This is for those of us
Who didn't make it
Who lost their battle
But we remember you

This is for those of us
Who know what it's like
To be broken, hurt, defeated,
Abused, forgotten, alone, and lost

This is for those of us
Who know how to survive
And those of us
Who taught us how
