Sometimes, you have to understand what makes people
jump off bridges.
slit their wrists.
put a rope around their neck.
And swallow a whole bottle of pills.
because
of the circumstances
that made the events leading up to that very moment
feel like it was the worst pain in the world
like everyone was crushing you
ripping you apart
stepping on you
until
you could not take it anymore.
You wanted to feel nothing.
To be numb
so
you made a choice
to take that life of yours
and end it.
If I could
go back in time
I would
Give you
some reasons to stay.
Like the little things
that make life worth living
being with people you love.
Seeing a sunset for the first time in a while
hearing the birds sing in the morning
having a good meal
being in love.
If you were here
I would tell you
to stay another day
because the storm
will be over.
I know that sometimes it feels like it never ends
but please
believe that
you are strong enough
to take what life throws at you
and turn it into something
Beautiful.
