hey yeah i know its late and that i already wrote in this today but i wrote a poem that i want to put on here in case its ever lost. so yeah here it is!


Love On, Live On

stop it! youre not thinking this through!
put that down! so many people would miss you!
is this not something you would expect to hear
when happiness is something you are not near?
and thoughts of suicide are on your mind?
and your brain is in a depressive bind?
and all the things you used to enjoy
like your optimistic friends or a favorite toy
seem useless and unentertaining
compared to the last of those pills remaining?
and you are constantly unmotivated?
and the only accomplishments that make you feel elated
are those pertaining to how much pain you could withstand
before the circulation is cut off from your hand?
and school is not a part of your conscience?
like every attempt to succeed seems like pure nonsense?
and alcohol is your only savior?
no matter what the proof or flavor?
and all you can think of to bide your time
is to write a couple lines that rhyme?
how many of these questions have you answered yes to?
and please tell me how exactly i can help you
because i, too, was once this troubled soul
in an unescapable hell hole
and all i really needed was tender loving care
and someone to talk to who played with my hair
that would comfort and appreciate me
and tell me they would always love me
and always accept me for who i was
and not desert me "just because"
but i never found that friend
and i drove my car around that bend
and purposely got in that car crash
and the only memory of me left is an urn full of ash
now i watch over them all in regret
all the money in the world i wish i could bet
that you would regret letting yourself go too
you have no idea how many people would miss you
but even more so, how many already love you

so leave that vein alone
get some help on your own
confide in a friend
your wounds will mend
and when you feel you cant go on
remember youll be missed when youre gone
and read this poem through once more
because it might change your mind about walking through that door
and although you may not want to survive
believe me it feels so good to be alive
so peace, and be gone
love on, live on.
