Lies

Lies.

Born into a world, where hopes and aspirations bloomed,
Where lovers intertwined and made love to a tune,
So that’s how you came to be,
Oh Innocent child, you didn’t foresee…

Those nights where they wouldn’t let go of you,
Taunting you with hurtful words,
You didn’t have a clue,
You didn’t know who to turn to…

Chorus:
Hopeless, careless, undeserving of love,
These were the lies that poisoned your mind,
Please hear my cry, oh heavens above,
Somebody tell them to be kind.
These voices leave you paralysed,
Slowly eating you up inside.
These pills make you numb,
Broke you into pieces and crumbs.

People point, people talk,
Pointing fingers, making judgment,
They didn’t want to understand your walk,
Why, why all this resentment?

But still you tried your very best,
To love and cherish and show how you feel,
Your selflessness surpasses all tests,
These tears that I could not conceal.
You don’t have to say anything,
Cause to me you’re my everything.

Chorus:
Hopeless, careless, undeserving of love,
These were the lies that poisoned your mind,
Please hear my cry, oh heavens above,
Somebody tell them to be kind.
These voices leave you paralysed,
Slowly eating you up inside.
These pills make you numb,
Broke you into pieces and crumbs.

You taught me how to count my blessings,
To trust in the Lord and all His ways,
To put aside all doubts and cease testing,
What finite minds can’t understand.

So don’t listen to the lies,
Remember the truth, that we love you,
Look, it’s in our eyes, no guise,
We’ll make it through…

A song written after a glass or red wine...or two. 

I dedicate this song to people who have faced or are facing the demons in their head. Literal voices or otherwise. So little is known of mental health and its importance. To the families and carers of those afflicted with mental illness, you do not walk this path alone.  Seek help when you need it. Open up to people who love and care about you. Do not bear the burden on your shoulders alone. Hang in there. Never lose hope. Some day we'll understand it a little better. And with greater understanding, greater love and a little less animosity.
