PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I know you might not want to hear what I have to say
So I'll be brief, It won't take all day

I just want to say we have all been there

When our pain becomes too great of a weight to bear

Or when you feel you're  a burden to those you care about
So you think they would all be better off without

You tell yourself there is no hope and that's  your reason

But can't you see pain ends and this is just a season

A cold dry winter that is only temporary
So look past the tears to see this is only momentary

Your solution however is a forever one

And no matter how hard you try, it can't be undone

So be still, hold on and take a breath
Because the answers you seek won't be revealed in death

I wish I could show you how, or give you a sign 

That this too shall pass, clocks ticking a deadline

One you can't see just yet, but know that I can
Because your story isn't over, so don't dismiss God's plan

We grow from struggle, heartache and pain

So just imagine the lesson and the strength  you will gain

And maybe there will come a time when you will see
It's okay to borrow faith, because one day you'll believe

To end it now would allow the hurt to win

But dont let it, fight it, don't just take it on the chin

Grab your pain and show it that you are not afraid
Make it see that you refuse to give your life in trade

Because for you, God has so much more in store

and this is just a battle you lost, but not the war

You think you have taken all you can, so why try?
But I promise the pain will not end with your suicide

It will begin for all who know you and for all who care 

Even though you think they are better off with you not there

Just hold on a little longer 

Because I can help, we can make you stronger

I can't fight your battle for you

But I know this much is true

To end it now won't set you free

So just breathe and reach out to me

And remember you dont have to go through this alone
Just send me a text or pick up your phone

Let me show you there is another way
One that gives us another day

And maybe that will be all it takes
For you to learn life goes on, even when our  hearts break

And with your broken pieces you might find
You see clearer now, when before you were blind

And you know the wounds you bare now will fade with age
And you won't always feel locked in this cage

You will hear the poet's words echo, don't go gently into that good night
And You will realize you are worth the fight 

So please just take pause, for God hears your pleas

And If not God, then reach out to me

Because I would rather listen today, than mourn tomorrow
Or say, who knew they had such sorrow?

So, give me a chance to be there for you now
Make me a promise, make me a vow

You won't do anything you may regret,
At least not now, at least not yet

Because I couldn't go on, If you were gone. Can't you see?

And maybe this isn't so much about me saving you, but more about you saving me.
