Suicidal Lullaby

"You're not ending the pain you're ending the opportunity for things to get better." - @BQQuinn TESD.


A rough draft of something I'm working on...

To the baby
When I see you I pray that you will know happiness.
That your troubles will melt away.

To the 12 year old
A reminder of your importance you must always know that you matter.
Path of self destruction, please find a way out.
A beacon to guide you from the madness.
Don't give up, never give up.

To the mother
I see your sorrow, brokenhearted stories of a child departed.
I once knew your daughter, I see her ghost now.
Will you be able to forgive yourself?
Tears at nightfall, will your heart ever mend?

For someone who is preventing their suicide everyday;
a mantra.
Stand strong in the storm, dance if you must.
Please find a way to prevail.
