Lost and alone,
Scared and confused,
Is what so many people are.

Don't they see?
What is beyond the clouds?
A place of peace, a place of healing,
But wait, please don't take the shortcut,
Please don't end it just yet,
As you see, we are here for a reason
A purpose..
And if you end it all now...
What will your story be?

A story of loss, of pain, of heartache
Of a stone thrown in a calm water causes ripples...
You are the stone and the ripples you would leave,
Even more pain behind...

Peoples hearts would torn about,

Ripped open for the world to see,

The truth of this matter is, 

Ending it all doesn't bring peace

Yes I know, being depressed is a sickness,

It isn't something easily overcome,

The temptations are always there,

But honestly what good does ending it do?

Can't you see, the people left behind?

Crying and aching,

All because you chose a selfish choice?

Please consider this carefully..

Please read these words slowly...

There are many who love you, many who care about you.

And even in the times when it doesn't feel like anyone does at all....

Consider this...

God does...

He cares more for you then anyone ever could.

He created you for a purpose,

Please don't end it too soon...

As your story is more then this,

Your story can be so much better then this...

After the rains come the flowers and the sun

Please just hold on till the sun comes out again

Reach out and ask for help,

You are not alone,

You are not worthless.

No one is.

No one ever will be.

Take a deep breathe...

And live!

If anyone is considering suicide or knows/hears of someone who is,

Please seek help right away,

And remember...be their friend, as everyone needs one.
