Suicide Prevention

The scars on her arm Are reminders to all who take a look Of the unseen scars upon her soul When her life she almost took The reasons now seem kind of foolish Even inside her own, now healthy, mind But back then, her particular situation Offered no other options that she could find The finality of a suicide Is easy for the troubled soul to overlook She is now thankful she was rescued To write more chapters in her book The scars on her arm Now act as prevention when she gets down They help her come to realize Different solutions always can be found
