What If

WHAT IF? You think you’re alone You think no one cares You think you’re alone Because no one ever cares Well let me ask you a question… What if…? What if you pulled the trigger What if you slashed the knife What if you took the pills That would forever end your life Because then you’re dead You’re gone You can never come back You can’t come back to the family that will miss you The family that will mourn and cry, and always ask Why Why did you leave if everyone does care? Why, when we care ‘You think you’re alone You think no one cares Well let me tell you something Someone does care So don’t end your life Keep living Keep pushing Make them see you Make them care Because you’re not alone People do care

Hi Anne, this is such a deep, insightful, powerful write. I enjoyed reading it and the meaningful questions that you posed. And, yes, there are people who do care even when things seem utterly hopeless. Well done!
