A poem in tribute to World Suicide Prevention Day 2021.

It feels like I’m in darkness

And I end up really scared

Sometimes I feel so lonely

That no one really cares

I think of the chance to stop it

perhaps I won’t wake up

Maybe it’s best if I go

So then it can all just stop

But instead I remember the good times

And the loved ones I’d leave behind

I know things can get better

If I hold on for some more time

I know it won’t change overnight

But if I take it day by day

My life can only get better

If I choose today, I’ll stay.
