& it is not about a ghost
it's more to me than history
or the drinking of a toast

the story is of a life
once bound by tragedy
how somehow the eye's were open
& life saw reality

so many of us live with depression
even thoughts of suicide
not giving thought to the ones who love us
just simple selfish pride

some people think with suicide
the pain will go away
well if thats the way you think
then go ahead & think that way

suicide is a copout
for the ones with out strength to say
be strong & behold
it will make a better day
