Give Life a Chance
(This is a fictional poem)
You're standing on this ledge and you're threatening to jump.
You lost your six figure salary job and now you live in a dump.
But we all have to face bad breaks in life.
If you jump, you'll hurt your children and your wife.
You're hurting and you don't want to live anymore.
But you have a family who loves you and that alone is worth living for.
Give life a chance, I'm sure things will get better for you.
If you jump, it will hurt me too.
What happened to you was bad.
But now you're coming back in the building and I'm glad.
