Don’t tell me how to feel
Don’t tell everything will be ok
Don’t tell me what to think or how to act
Don’t tell me a single thing until you know how I feel

Have you ever held a razor to your arm?
Your arm that is all tied up so you can see the veins that are about to pop out
Just waiting for the phone to ring?
Until you have don’t tell that I am not depressed
Have you ever stayed awake at night calling out to God?
But only hearing silence?

Have you ever found the love of you life?
Only to lose them then to regain them then lose them once again?
Until you feel the heartbreak that I do don’t you dare tell me look on the bright side of life.
Just sit here and listen for I know you are good at that
For you have done it before
Comfort me like you did this night

Don’t tell what to do
But you never do in away that makes me mad
You do it in the most loving way
I love you too sis and thank-you
I will try my hardest to keep living
For I don’t want to make you feel pain
