Suicide

Suicide is not the answer to make your pain go away
Yes, more than life I too wish I could take my life today,
But what will happen when people we love
Fall apart wondering where was god above
I live with these feelings daily
I wish they would go away
Depression has taken its role
Many things make me this way
But to take my life would cause more harm
It is a selfish, and ignorant act
People can get help
I know this for a fact
I have heard about professinal help
We need to be in counseling every day
For you to claim to take your life just does not seem o.k.
People depend upon you
You have a purpose for being alive
Dosen't matter what it is
God wants you to survive
He would have taken you
If he felt your time was done
But listen to him and others
Know that your special in the eyes of someone
The pain that you feel in unbearable
Yes, sorrow can fill your life
But remember suicide is temporary
It dosen't end your strife
Please take heed when I say
Best get out of bed
You can't fight your depression
Laying there wishing you were dead
Get up and fight!
Harder than ever before
Please listen to what I say
I've walked down that path many times before
I would be lying if I told you
Life was full of roses and wine
Even as I write this poem
I wish God would say its my time
But listen hard and understand
This is a choice we should not take on as our own
God gave us a reason for living
Sometimes it takes a while before it becomes known
So when you feel depressed
and go to the drawer for a knife
Remember that there is help out there
No need to take your life
Pain and sorrow can be replaced
Later down the road
There is peace and happiness
There are others there to help us carry our load
Don't give up without a fight
You are worth more than you know
Please listen to what I have said
For there is someone begging" PLEASE DON'T LET GO!"


Dedicated to LACEY McCOY, PLEASE DON'T LET GO!" AND HANG IN THERE,
