A poem for death

Prevent suicide

Life has let you down

Seems like there's nothing left

B a pistol against your head

And a rope around your neck

The solutions to all your problems

No answer to your prayers

The only way out Is death

Cause Nothing else matters

So many ways

In a mind so distraught

To destroy a life so young

Seldom without a second thought

He will jump in front of a train

She will swallow a bottle of pills

It will take away their pain

It doesn't matter as long as it kills

Suicide is the game they play

She will die tomorrow

And he will die today

Please listen to me

If you are going to play that game

I was just like you

But with a different name

Please put down that gun

And take the rope from your neck

Let the train go by

Put the pills back on the shelf

Think about the people

That you would leave behind

Standing over your casket

Crying and wondering why

They never had a chance

To help you through your pain

Knowing their life with you is over

Except a stone that reads your name

There is so much more to life

Please trust me and you will see

It takes time to heal

I know because you are me

Please put down that gun

And take the rope for your neck

Let the train go by

Put the pills back on the shelf
