Between the trees-The Way She Feels
Saturday, June 5, 2010; ( 1:05 AM )
I cried when I saw this video. This video is sort of a band Between the Trees supporting an American non-profit organisation called To Write Love on Her Arms which gives hope to those who struggle with self injury(multilation), thoughts of suicide, depression, and addiction. Too bad it's an american organisation or I will want to totally support it. The thought of people cutting themselves to get away from the pain and depressing memories is just depressing and sad. And surprise, there is an element of GOD in the song. Wow. And it kinda reminded of myself and how I felt when I was having depression and how I supposedly got out of it. Those were the days ...but now, God is there. The part where it talks about "He wraps His arm around and around and around" ...that really makes me cry. Gosh. This makes me think of God so much and all that love He gives. Thank God I am out of all those memories. And I really dont know, but I felt like, I can totally relate with those who cut themselves, or those who have depression, those comtemplating suicide or those who have an addiction. Because I have been there and done that. (except cut myself) . And if you really fall into any of those catergory, God loves you. It's not worth it. Please dont do anything that will hurt yourself... And the organisation was supposedly created for a girl named Renee Yohe who struggled with addiction, depression, self-injury, and attempted suicide. There was this group of friend who wanted to get her treated but couldnt get her into any treament centre and then this group of friend said something so beautiful I lost words to say. "We become her hospital and the possibility of healing fills our living room with life. It is unspoken and there are only a few of us, but we will be her church, the body of Christ coming alive to meet her needs, to write love on her arms" Wow. Gosh . And then it snowballed from one person into many more people. I ,too, want to do something like that. To raise awareness for those who struggle with life that you dont need to go through it alone. Between the trees- the way she feels Shes upset Bad day Heads for the dresser drawer to Drive her pain away Nothing good can come of this. She opens it theres nothing there Is only left over tears Mom and dad had no right she screams As the anger runs down both of her cheeks. Then she closed her eyes And found relief in a knife The blood flows as she cries All alone the way she feels Left alone to deal with all the pain-drenched sorrow relief Bite the lip just forget the bleeding Then she closed her eyes And found relief in a knife The blood flows as she cries [x2] Curled up shes on the floor Relief left her she had hoped for something more From it (hoped for something more) From it He leans down to comfort her She is weeping and He Wraps His arms around And around and around and... The deeper you cut The deeper I hurt The deeper you cut It only gets worse[x2] Now shes slowly opening... New eyes... Then she opened her eyes And found relief through His life And put down her knives Then she opened her life And found relief through His eyes And put down She put down her knife |
