GOD SAVING SUICIDE POEM

"I'm sorry to tell you friends,
that I want to leave this world of pain.
It isn't any of your fault,
for I am the one to blame."

They say, "Life's a bowl of cherries",
but to you, life just plain out sucks.
Things never going the way you want
and you're always down on your luck.

You say it just doesn't matter
if I'm alive or if I'm dead.
That's the thought that
is running through your head.

Who told you that life was easy,
who ever said life's a piece of cake?
Deciding on your eternal fate,
it's the choice you'll have to make.

"I don't know how long I can last,
or know when the time will be,
I don't know when the time will come,
but I want to leave, as you can see."

Think about what you're going to do,
where you're going to be.
Think about who you're going to hurt,
and where you'll spend eternity.

Down on your luck,
absorbed in your sorrow.
Hold on just a little longer,
and see the bright tomorrow.

"Everyday my head hurts,
thinking of thoughts I'm scared of.
Afraid of every little thing,
and having no one to love."

An innocent young mind,
being lost and confused.
Of all sorts of problems,
your thoughts being abused.

You put the gun to your head,
a tear you have shed.
Thinking that you are,
better off, better off dead.

You think killing yourself,
will do you any harm.
Well, you're wrong, you'll fall,
right into Satan's arms.

Will you be joining in
the roaring screams of Hell,
just for a bullet through your head.
Only time will tell.

Please, don't take your life,
can't you see, what you will do?
Just call upon the Lord Jesus Christ,
and He will help you through.
