Please, Do Not Leave So Soon

There is an important someone here just for you, so please do not leave so soon

I can clearly see that you are upset, but your sadness is a huge surprise

You are the talk of your school, a smart, popular, beautiful, outgoing girl

You never shed a tear, or that’s what your friends think, all they see are sparkles in her eyes

 

President of debate club, cheer team captain, and student body president

At your school you are the only person your peers tire themselves out, striving to be

But look at you, here and now, all alone, and very scared

Breaking down crying, begging for mercy, on your knees

 

I know you have doubts, but trust in me, everything will be fine

Please think of your family before you take your own life

I know it seems like the final solution that will end all your pain

But a gun, some rope, lots of pill, or a sharp knife will not end your strife

 

You are hurting, your pain is way deep down inside, and I can definitely tell

You think they do not care, and that is why they do not notice

But if you wait this out and let the clouds go away, it's all going to be okay

You cannot see it, but stay positive and be motivated, because I know this

 

I may have a possible solution for you, just do one thing

Please keep an openmind, here is my idea, maybe you should try

Speaking to a very special and righteous man I know

His name is God, he resides above us, very high in the sky

 

I know He will be able to comfort you, He will make feel refreshed and brand new

If you will get down on your knees and one thing, just pray
For his protection, warmth, and guidance, a prayer is basically a sincere conversation

You should try to have at least one with Him every single day

 

I know this may seem stupid, crazy, or weird

Like you are talking to the wall, yourself, your dog, or no one

But he knows your past, present, and future, and he hears you

Just have faith in him, and wait patiently, then you have already won

 

He can help you if you will let him into your heart, body, mind, and soul

It’s actually very simple, you just have to possess

One major quality, genuinely believe in the father, son, and holy spirit

Then God will take care of the technicalities and all the rest

 

You can be sure he will do anything, because he even sacrificed his only son for you

For all of His children, He provides, heals, protects, loves, and even more

This is because from nothingness he cultivated everything in his image

You, air, water, light, darkness, plants, animals, anything you may name

 

God has been with you this whole time, waiting on you to bring your whole being

And lay it at his feet, somebody loves you, so please do not take your own life

Do think about the fact that if you want to go to heaven, you cannot do this

For murder is a sin, even if it is yourself you kill, please put down the knife

 

Keep in mind that self harm is never the choice you should make or a solution

And God will be hurt if you destroy his beautiful property

He took the time to create you, in his image of perfection

So be motivated, be positive, and be the best you that you can be

 

And take the time to become unified with the Lord

He can take good care of you and shed some of your burdens away

Honestly, life still will not be an easy cakewalk

But He will keep you safe, and that is what need right now anyway

 

Heed my advice, and you will make it out of this storm

I cannot promise you will never hurt again

But I can promise that God will always be there

For eternity, infinity, and all the way until the very end
