I'm Not Going Anywhere

I’m lying here in my bed

Thinking of a way to make this pain end

Pills and vodka or a bullet through the brain

Anything to stop me from going even more insane

 

There is music on my stereo, playing on shuffle

Just incessant noise to quieten my shuffles

And to drown out the voices in my head

Then a melodic voice breaks through my reverie

Singing “I’m thankful that I’m not dead”

 

I sit up and listen and dry my eyes

Maybe I don’t need to say my final goodbye

The singer talks about a time when he was feeling so down

That he couldn’t find a reason for him to stick around

Yet he found a way to end his troubles

He saw the light at the end of the tunnel

 

When the song ends, a smile forms on my face

I’m thinking that maybe this world isn’t that bad a place

There’s someone who understands what I’m going through

And maybe there’s someone who cares

And for now, I’m not going anywhere

There is always someone out there who cares, even when we cannot see them. Always keep holding on. Thank you for sharing this.

Sometimes, we just need to hold on to another person's thought to get us through.

Pinpoint accuracy ;) There is always, always someone who does know what someone else is going through, oh, how this resonated! x
