I'd just like to say to anyone who has lost someone, I am really sorry for your loss.

I'd also like to say to anyone who is thinking about taking their life, I hope after listening to this song you realize that it would be a mistake to do so. Suicide is never the answer. You just have to move along, I promise things will get better.

Last but not least, if you know someone who is "in a place so dark", someone who is having a hard time getting through their life, please let them know that someone cares about them, talk to them about it. You'd be amazed by how just a simple act of kindness can change and even save someone's life. I personally know how true that is. I'm at a point in my life where it seems like it will never get better but then someone who was a complete stranger at the time came into my life and was just simply nice to me in a time when I really needed it and now I have something to live for. So please, if you know anyone having a hard time, try to help them through it.

I wrote this quite a while back and things are starting to get better for me. The person who I mentioned above basically left my life a few months ago but it made me remember the person who first changed my life. I guess what I'm trying to say is, things aren't always as they seem. You may lose something that you thought meant everything to you and think that things could never possibly get better but you need to realize that there is always a reason to live. I have personally never been to such lows that I considered suicide so I can't imagine what it would be like to have those thoughts but I have had times where it seemed like nothing would get better, like it wasn't possible but I always had hope, hope for the future, hope for change. I know it may seem like I'm just restating some of the things I've already said , but I just felt like I could share more with whoever happens to read this in hopes that it could somehow, someway, help at least one single person.

A few people have been asking this so...
This song was written by a person by the name of Allen Shamblin for his friend Richard Roddey. His friends also raise money for music scholarships. Check out http://www.richardroddymusic.com/ for more information.

She had a smile that could turn around someones day.(: She made me smile everyday. oh and I cannot forget her laugh.. Well, Taylor was only 14. 14 is so young.Today was her memorial, I heard this song and I couldnt stop crying. Thinking of her beautiful voice, she could sing.. I miss her, and everyone always will. I love you taylor. This song keeps me going.

I have never had to go through this.....i have been on the other side of the coin where i felt life would be happier for everyone if i was gone.....then i look at my kids and i couldnt imagine leaving them without a father. I know i am not the best father but i try and do what i can. To all of you that have lost someone to suicide. I am so sorry!

  • @EscapeTheCaitx3 I don't know if you're planning what i tjink you're planning but if you are I can tell you what you can do... You can keep on holding on and not give up, think about yourself and not what others think of you think about the life that you have in front of you and what you have in the future waiting for you and show them that you are more than they think you are.

  • I'm gay. And there's not a single person in my Family who respects or likes me anymore. What else can I do than just let them live without me?
