Death Is Not The Answer Poem by Patrick Shields

Death Is Not The Answer



Please listen to what I have to say
Death is not the answer
I know you may feel broken and fray
Life may seem hard and unfair

I've been where your standing
On the edge of a cliff looking into oblivion
If you jump there's no chance of surviving
You'll never see your friends and family again

But please take a breath
Step back please my friend
Do not leap to your death
Please take my hand

I know your heart is breaking
Nothing seems to be going right
Life seems to be far to excruciating
And it doesn't seem worth the fight

I can tell you from experience it is
I take Prozac to help me get through
I will never trade away a lovers kiss
But I almost threw it all away like you

So please keep holding on
Things can and will get better friend
Just please remain strong
You can and will be happy again
