"A Letter of Hope"
Gm Eb Bb F
Verse 1:
I had bipolar
for 14 years
Things are often dark
and not so clear
It is like you have been
stuck in the mud
swallowed whole
where you can't
move or nudge
your way out
No matter how loud you shout
No one hears you
You act like a fool
Screaming at the
top of your lungs
But pain ensues
It really is painful sometimes
When you are lonely and
caught in a vice
Things aren't nice
But here is my advice
No matter how chaotic your life gets
No matter how wretched and angry
you are, and when things don't let
Try to have faith
Don't break
and don't get to upset
Hey
Chorus:
You can't breathe
and sometimes you scream
You lose faith
and you plea
But you will see
that you'll be free
If you have hope
and believe
Verse 2:
I was there, wanted to hang by a rope
But my dad caught me and just said nope
So, I wrote this rap
and it's my hope
Truth is these things don’t show
the best of myself
For the most part I still
struggle and feel like I call for help
Having 8 hospitalizations
I have had many frustrations
So many elations
suicidal ideations
I cannot seem to figure it out
I have tried 30 meds
and in the end, they did help
but only for so long
The psyche says
I need static electricity to the brain
To help me from going insane
However, just play the game
say
Chorus:
You can't breathe
and sometimes you scream
You lose faith
and you plea
But you will see
that you'll be free
If you have hope
and believe
Verse 3:
I am clearly uninspired
and sadness is on the wire
I am always tired
my feelings mired
However, I wrote this poem
I just want this to be known
You are often shot cold
and getting old
Everywhere you turn
you feel low
I know you will
fall down
You will do it
round by round
But you got to have hope
and say you can cope
And try to look up
maybe there is a god
Pain is like a lightning rod
that can shock the system
But hope can alleviate
depressing symptoms
Don't play victim
Just try too winsome
Here is today
Control your breath
Say ay oh kay
Yay
Chorus:
You can't breathe
and sometimes you scream
You lose faith
and you plea
But you will see
that you'll be free
If you have hope
and believe
