Worth It

Cover your wrists
Dry your eyes
Put the blade down
Stop hurting your thighs

Come out of the dark
Be strong and fight 
Don't give up yet
Your future's bright

Open your computer 
Talk to a friend
Keep in mind
This isn't the end

Don't tie a rope 
Put down those pills
Step off the chair
You've got enough thrills

Lay down your head
Don't cry and weep
You're worth it I promise
Now try to sleep

Woeeee!!!! I wasn't expecting such an awesome poem. I got to admit, this blew my mind. You've given a powerful ending. Suicide is not the answer. A favorite poem
