Anti-Suicide Poem

Dear person in Sorrow,

I know how you feel, Your life is like a sad song, you wonder

as you walk, Is life worth living?

You tremble, Tears don't dry, you are in pain, Life is a nightmare

Is there any hope? You ponder.

You wish death to take you away, But it doesn't have to

be that way.

The stars shine, There is something great about you, no one can replace you

your death would be a tragedy, I wish the best for you

you can be someone's hero, you can be someone's friend

so you see someone smile, you'll realize

you'll be worth more than gold and that you can't

Help people if you are dead. Life is hard for everyone,

your pain is your own, so be bold, -Live and Have Fun

Scars means you have survived

I may not know you or your circumstance

If you fail, at least you tried, Don't hide-try to keep your

wonderful self Alive. Negativity seems rational but

it's not factual

Search for the truth, dream and if you are down, Write a note, keep people alert,

sometimes you feel lower than dirt, wash the blues away, sing a song like

I wish I was on a sunbeam, life makes me scream, why is everybody so mean?

it doesn't matter what the words are, as long it makes you feel no pain, and

I'm sure you'd enjoy dancing in the rain,

Now, I'm starting to rhyme, see how absurd life is,

but laughter is the sweetest sound I've ever heard

good luck, my soldiers, be brave, life is a battle

which side are you on? I know you are strong, Death is forever

Please don't go, I know you belong, and you'll be missed if you are gone.

How do I know you belong?

You belong if you only have just a friend like me

Stay alive and you will see

Better days ahead? Perhaps

things are transitory in this world, I know there is a godzillion people on earth and you need to find some kind of worth,

Perhaps some one will hear your song or see your creations and

Perhaps You will save some one from despair'?

you are a good person indeed and that's rare

goodnight, sleep tight, dream of a better world

light a candle, it hard, but you can handle it

think there is no future, Live for today

and help build a better tomorrow

Peace and blessings
