Darkness Hides Us All Poem by Melissa Stevens

Why own a gun, what you need protection
From who?
Is it yourself
Oh are you trying to run away from your problems, I'm here for you
You wanna hear something
Ain't making more trouble but you gotta face your problems
No more believing thinking you are drowning in depression
Whatever your case is

Stop believing those thoughts, that's not who you are
It's not you who thinking that
If you own a gun, giving up way too easy
If you load the bullets, you're going to hurt yourself many times
Each one hurts more than first

You wanna know who I'm writing this poem for
It's for you, the nest time you think your life sucks or want to end your life
You will be heading down to where all the darkness lives at
Sins will keep piling up at your front door
Quick stop at the bathroom
Take a good look at yourself in the mirror
You're becoming a different person
Have I got your attention yet
Still think you're okay

Oh you think that kitty with a closed mouth is innocent you see in every store
Think again, open up your eyes
Witchcraft has a good job hiding themselves
Or the music you listen to
Pay close attention to lyrics
Don't think it means something
Your ears don't want to hear this
It might sound good to you, but it's brainwashing you
If you don't want to take my word for it
Trust me, I been there before

It can actually take your life away
Doing bad things, trying to kill yourself couple times
Close calls, almost getting hit by another car
When I was a little girl, always getting this thoughts about terrible things

Last summer, hearing satan told me I want this body now
Or letting a guy used you, keep going for more
Or smoking in a midst of chemicals at the age fourteen
But Lord saved me from all that
What are you doing to yourself, is this what you want
Don't let your life slip away
Take control of your life, watch what you are doing to yourself
