Sometimes I wonder how those around me can hide their pain and grief with a smile on their face. I dont understand how people who on the outside appear so together are torn to shreds on the inside...those whose lives seem happy are often the ones covering up the pain. I cant comprehend the thought of suicide, and I feel sorrow for those who are at a point that the only way to make themselves feel better is to end their life. I just personally cant relate, because I have never been to a point that low and I thank God for that. Maybe it is also that I dont hide my emotions well...I may not verbalize them but my thoughts and emotions are written all over my face. You can take one look at me and know what my emotions are at any moment. I just believe though that suicide is the selfish way out of life's problems. There is no man or woman that is truly an island unto themselves, and there are people in everyone's life that sincerely care about them. Those who attempt suicide dont consider the impact of how deeply this hurts those they most care about.
I just want to know were the signs for depression there? Did we just miss them? Are we just so busy that we overlook people's emotions and feelings? Is their hope that fleeting?
Anyways, these are just some questions I was pondering...
"The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature." - Anne Frank
Mandisa says it best with her lyrics...
Been a hard one, Been a bad one
Been a tough one, Been a sad one
It's been one of those days that keeps chipping away
Nothing new here, It's what I do here
its a stereotypical day, in the life
I'm surrounded by all of the pain and the strife
but I know it's alright
Cause it's only the world I'm living in
It's only today I've been given
There ain't no way I'm giving in
Cause it's only the world
I know the best is still yet to come
Cause even when my days in the world are done
There's gonna be so much more than only the world for me
Yeah its only the world
Anybody can you hear me?
Do you feel me? I mean, do you feel me?
I know I'm not the only one wearing the weight of this world
We got problems said it's alright
Just remember yeah, it's alright
Take a good look around we're just stuck on the ground for a little while
Don't it make you smile
Cause it's only the world I'm living in
It's only today I've been given
There ain't no way I'm giving in
Oh Cause it's only the world
I know the best is still yet to come
Cause even when my days in the world are done
There's gonna be so much more than only the world for me
Heaven is a place where the tears on every face will be wiped away
Oh and I can't wait to go, but for now it's enough to know
This is only temporary this only , Yeah it's Alright!
