    I lost my brother to suicide and I struggle so much trying to understand what he was going through before he left us. If only he asked for help! This song wasn't able to help my brother but it definitely helped me let out my grief. Thank you so so much for creating such a beautiful song.

    I've been there, battled addiction, homelessness and depression, starved, spent birthdays and Christmases alone staring at the ceiling when I had a roof over my head, all while living overseas, all with no family support. I came out the other side though and better for it.

    LYRICS (WE ARE HUMAN MAIMOA)
    Non existent and numb
    Anaesthetics kicked in
    I want to sleep in Are you a victim of creation?
    I'm fighting for the smallest silver of hope Suffocating in the shaddows
    Finding my air to breathe
    To release the truth of me
    Look in to my eyes I understand I'll empathise
    Together we'll stand
    You don't have to hide
    Just take my hand
    Because we, we are human
    Oh broken mirror on the wall
    As I lay in the pieces on the floor
    A silent cry, slowly tearing me apart
    Will I be able to survive?
    I'm fighting for the smallest silver of hope Suffocating in the shaddows
    Finding my air to breathe
    To release the truth of me
    Look in to my eyes I understand I'll empathise
    Together we'll stand
    You don't have to hide
    Just take my hand
    Because we, we are human
    Kei hea taku kahu toroa
    Maiaorere hei kaupare i te kino? Kei hea taku whetū kanapu Hei arahi, arataki i ahau?
    Look in to my eyes I understand I'll empathise
    Together we'll stand
    You don't have to hide
    Just take my hand
    Because we, we are human

    My dad tried to take his life when I was young but luckily my mum was there just in time and lifted him up before he went through with it so who ever is reading this just remember God put you on this earth for a reason and if anyone tries to put you down for it they ant gonna get any where in life you are loved so don't forget that

      Pai tonu to ngakau nui, arohanuitia mo te ao ki roto i a koe, no reira he turu mo koe ki noho me he karauna ki runga i to upoko tapu, i runga i te rangiatea ki te taha o te rangatira atua ariki nui, te matua te tamaiti me te wairua tapu me nga tupuna whanui i runga rawa. Pai tonu to huarahi i mua ake nei e taku hoa.

    I balled my eyes out when I first watched this...It makes me wonder what my loved ones had gone through before they took their own lives. Ive been so low but Im so blessed to have the will power within me to always pick myself back up. This Song always reminds me to be as kind as i can because you never know what somebody is going through Look after one another. Watch for the signs. Drop the Ego. Lift the heart xx

    I was self harming and had thoughts of ending it all before I was told I was suffering from depression, that was four years ago. I am still suffering but no longer self harm due to friends and antidepressants, each day is a struggle but it's one day away from. Where I was, and I'm in my 50's and a man, it has no age restriction.

    This is a good representation of mental illness, depression & anxiety. The dark space, tiredness, room messy, no caring about physical appearance. I absolutely understand this. And with love hope everyone else does too. This has powerful meanings behind this both video and lyrics.

    This is something I’m sure my mom is going through right now, but I’m not there to help her. I’m in adoption, only 13. I wish to be by her side. I wish I understood what she is going through, I wish for my siblings, I, and parents to be together. My dad, I don’t really know, I love him but he really needs to get his act together and get on the right track. This has not happened only once but throughout my whole life. It’s heartbreaking, but I think that I don’t suffer more than what my parents are suffering through. While my dad and mom our on the streets, I’m in a home, I have a phone, I have money, I have so much, and I’d trade in everything just to be together as a family again. I have 5 siblings, and I’m the oldest. I have to make sure to put on the right act in order for my younger siblings to be happy and make good and right choices, I have to teach them the right ways, I don’t want them going through what my parents and I had to go through EVER in their lives.

    Non existent and numb
    Anaesthetics kicked in
    I want to sleep in
    Are you a victim of creation?
    [Pre-Chorus]
    I'm fighting for the smallest silver of hope
    Suffocating in the shaddows
    Finding my air to breathe
    To release the truth of me
    [Chorus]
    Look in to my eyes
    I understand I'll empathise
    Together we'll stand
    You don't have to hide
    Just take my hand
    Because we, we are human
    [Verse 2]
    Oh broken mirror on the wall
    As I lay in the pieces on the floor
    A silent cry, slowly tearing me apart
    Will I be able to survive?

    I'm fighting for the smallest silver of hope

    [Chorus]
    Look in to my eyes
    I understand I'll empathise

    This waiata makes me pouri..because theres alot of people that can relate.. silence.. Hiding away.. Sleeping alot.. Struggles of not liking yourself.. a person is sometimes dangerous to others or dangerous to themselves need the message out there clear that they know they not alone reach out open up and never be whakamaa about it.. i can feel the Aroha in this waiata

    Felt this song str8 away it's so powerful and very true, alot of our people r suffering inside and desperately looking for help but don't know how to get the help they need because they are unsure if they r right or wrong to even feel the way they do , they feel confused and scared, uncertain about whats happening within themselves 😔 . Saddens me that a few to many take their lives because alot of us cant see the suffering and struggle within themselves, OPEN OUR EYES AND READ BETWEEN THE LINES AND LOOK FOR TELL TALE SIGNS

I don’t know where I would be right now if it wasn’t for my family and God. All it takes is for someone to reach out , so in saying that this song will always get me through a dark day.

    I really, really needed to see this right now. I had a massive breakdown last night. I am suffering severe depression and anxiety and found comfort with this, ringing and having a chat to beyond blue and holding my taonga to help me get my mana back. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! 💖💖💖✨🧚✨🧚✨🧚✨

    This song is my go to. Especially during my days where suicide is heavy on mind. Today is one of those days. And it’s been in hour into this song playing in a loop. & honestly, I AM struggling. My heart is broken , my mind is confused. I feel so alone. Reaching out isn’t an option, I want to feel the way I feel because I want that push. I want to feel unwanted, so when it comes to doing what my heart & mind urges for, I won’t have any regret.

    Been suffering my depression for years...1st attempt of suicide I was 6...taken off my mother who was an alcoholic and abusive and neglected me on my 9th bday....By God's grace I'm still here...people think because I'm kind that I haven't experienced nothing...but truth be told the best people I know have suffered the most! True victims wouldn't go out of their way to kick another person down just like those who know true suffering.. would not make another suffer. I'm now 25. If you think being kind and judging people rightfully isn't important THINK AGAIN..You never know what ANYONE is going through! Never judge a book by its cover...just cause someone holds themselves well doesn't mean they aren't suffering it just means they're strong...so be kind!
