A Case Against Suicide

Light will eventually find its way through the dark. No one lives in it forever, so never give in to suicide Just wait until the light comes out It will find you in the dark You are loved more than you'll ever know And you are special, even though you don't feel it. Never give in to suicide It's not the answer. Refuse to let your demons defeat you. Let life breathe into your lungs. It's not your time to go. Hang tough You're stronger than you know Life is still shaking its tambourine for you. There's a lot of life to live! Whatever you're going through, remember this... Someone out there understands your pain Someone out there lives in the same darkness that you're living in now. But you eventually see the light. Please be strong enough to wait! Never give in to suicide. You can't escape your misery without trapping those you leave behind in the same cocoon. Seek refuge in God when darkness engulfs you; lean on friends and family. There's no shame in seeking help People care. They're more than willing to help you pull through the hard times Light will eventually find you in the dark It's going to be alright. Submitted for...
