Suicide Prevention
If there was one thing that I could do, to make you, who remain cowered in Dread, change your mind about taking your own life
Simply because the burden of life weighs too much on your shoulders
Pray, be assured that I would have done so!
See, life was never meant to be enjoyed, life is a prick, a toil, a harshness
A way for the higher powers to inflict us with misery, loads of it
So that they do get to test the purity of our conscience
And decide, if once and for all, we are to leave this fallen plane
And enjoy those where love and stability abound!
See, life remains incomplete without faith
So should you someday face a moment of despair
Know that you are alive for a cause, even if it remains veiled and blurred to you
Pray, someday the essence of that cause shall be revealed to you!
You are to hold on to life, till it decides that your time here is done!
Pray, never, never do succumb to the seemingly easy way out
Mind you, toils of Earth are not meant to be taken as real
Suffering, like life, do last awhile
Everything has to come to its end, and taking your own life
Will spare you of your imposed bodily chores
But will have disastrous consequences for your soul!
