Please Stay

If you have contemplated of suicide, on this your life depends

There’s many ways to end it all, how will your means meet ends?

Have you considered those who’d find you. or how you made them feel?

Have you really felt the feelings, before you make this real?

Do you wonder if they'll think, it was payback time?

What if they miss the point, think you are making the light your lime?

Under all the bravado, I know the pain is true

Under each mask, there is a newer you

Under the bridge, a final resting place

Under your skin, with in the needles trace

At first they miss you, they put out an APB

If only we could avoid, all this in-sanity

The pain and suffering, have gone full circle now

It’s too late to fix it, too late for whys and how’s

If only you spoke up, or found help on your own

If only we read the signs, or looked past the self you’ve shown.

Reaching outs not easy, for we're all so self involved.

Sorry can’t fix everything, not all guilt can be absolved.

The pain we bear, becomes a shield, an armor to the world.

A way to hide the ugly truth, a way to keep secrets furled.

The answers never cutting out, or quitting on the game.

The answers lie in fixing you, and protecting others from the same.

Stand up for you, the way you know how. Let the others be.

For you control the only you, who can be the better me.

What others think matters not, outside the manner rules.

We take our selves too seriously, sometimes we should just be fools.

Your final act upon this earth should not play out this way

The world will be a better place, Fight back, Please stay.
