As a disabled veteran with several documented mental conditions that stem from my time in the military, this song really hits home. I am the peace keeper, guardian at home
for my wife and young son, and even though my inner demons from the stuff I had to face down daily so many years ago are still deeply embedded in me, I have to be the brave, strong, undefeated warrior for my family. No matter how much therapy I go through, medications I take, yoga, exercise, meditation, etc, I feel like I am putting on a show for the people around me. If the people that depend on me knew just how truly fragile I am on the inside, they wouldn’t know what to think or say. Not every day is horrible but man there sure are plenty of times that if I didn’t have my family, I would have gone ahead and checked off of this planet. My private psychiatrist even told me that before I brought it up - he said he could see it in my eyes. I was laying in bed last week with a horrible tension headache that laid me out. I couldn’t sleep but couldn’t open my eyes either. I literally begged God to take me right then and there. I kept pleading for Him to end my existence and suffering. After a few minutes of begging and pleading, my young son came into the room and asked how I was feeling and if he could help me. I realized that was God’s answer. It doesn’t make every day any easier, but I know I have to live for my son and maybe the monsters I faced down in the military was so he won’t have to ever face them down. I wouldn’t wish it on anybody. I am sure this sounds like the rambling of a crazy person, and maybe I am. Life is tough, it never lets up.

Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding on to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I'm trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say, let me say
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Maybe six feet ain't so far down
I'm looking down now that it's over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out heaven save me (save me)
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say, let me say
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Maybe six feet ain't so far down
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Maybe six feet ain't so far down, I'm so far down
Sad eyes follow me
But I still believe there's something left for me
So please come stay with me
'Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me
For you and me for you and me
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Maybe six feet ain't so far down
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Maybe six feet ain't so far down
Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding on to all I think is safe

True story of how I met this song:
I was a huge Star Trek fan growing up. There was a game based in the Trek universe, Armada II. The game itself was ok, but a passionate modding community made it better. One modder redid the title screen, and has this as the background song. It's as far away from Star Trek as you can get, but I was hooked on that song. Whenever I hear that guitar opening, I'm a 15 year old girl again and back in 2005, for just a few seconds.
Thank you whoever put this as the background song in a niche Star Trek game. You made my life better.

This song has a double meaning to me. I was listening to it when I found out that my great grandma had passed away. And it's the last song I heard my dad sing before he passed away. I haven't been able to listen to it since then today was the first. It hurts but in one of the best possible ways
