Please Please Stay Poem by Isabelle Warfel

Your struggle is real
The pain is in your eyes
The weight of it all crippling
You want to end it all
Trust me, I know
But, just listen a minute
Someone
Loves you
Needs you
Wants you
You are irreplaceable
Unforgettable
A treasure of immeasurable value
You can overcome
You can survive
But you have to fight your hardest
Do no such violence against yourself
Curse suicide to hell
Stare it down
Yell at it loudly till it runs away
Don't surrender to it
If you give in it will be the winner

If, you're still not convinced that you should stay
Try this
Think of a dear someone
Right there with you
You wouldn't want Her to see you do this
You wouldn't want Him to witness it
Or, do such harm to herself/himself
See Her weeping
Look at Him crying
Reaching to stop you from jumping over the edge
Holding on to keep you from leaving
You wouldn't want to be the author of such grief
Let Her be the reason you stay
Let Him be enough
Let Her/Him help you fight
Two are stronger than one
You will leave a void no-person can fill
A hole no-thing will fill
There is only you
There will never be another you
See, that's why you should stay
Promise you will

And remember prayer is a super weapon
