Not a Sign of Weakness

It's not a sign of weakness
Talking is the way to win
It may not take away the demon
Hold it at bay within 

A brew a Natter may really help 
Put these thought to one side
Social media is where you can yelp
Instant messenger we can confide

If it's a one on one you need 
Then its only a phone call away
Whatever time night or day
Its the right thing yes indeed

I know you may not want to bother
But bother it is not
A brother from another mother 
That is what you got

So please don't do anything rash 
I know your better than that
It's a fight to the finish not a dash
So put on your winners hat

Take notice from I who know
You can beat this nasty thought
Think of those around you now
Don't leave them all distraught 

They love you, want you around
Hold on to that dear thought
Not visit you in the ground 
In words I heard a long time ago 
DO AS YOU OUGHT

Stay strong my friend
Your the best  to really judge
It's not your time to call end
Don't make me hold a grudge

I hope you see what these words mean
Not trying to patronize 
Your ace this is how your seen 
Now open up your eyes 

If I don't know you it's not the end
You too can take heed
Everyone has a special friend
Their your saviour yes indeed
