Listen

Take the gun away from your head
Take the noose off of your neck
Put the pills back in the bottle
Put the knife down
Stop what you're doing

You don't need to do this
I understand you're in pain
Or maybe you are completely numb
Either way this is not how you fix it

I can't say I know your pain
I can't say I've been through the same thing you have
Honestly, I have no clue
I don't know you at all
But I know what it is like to be inches from taking your own life

Listen
You aren't alone in this
People care,
you might not know them yet
But I guarantee some one cares
As a matter of fact, I care

I know how it feels to be drowning in it all
I know how it feels to want to just end it all
I know how it feels when nothing takes the pain away
No drug, no amount of cutting, no alcohol is strong enough

Please, get help
It is gonna hurt but It will be for the better
Maybe you will meet that person who cares

You are worthy of love
You are worthy of being seen and heard
no matter what you've done
please reach out <3
