Do not be the one who leaves
Suicide isn't an option
Do not be the one who leaves,
For in departing, one bereaves
The heart of all that it held dear,
Leaving behind a void of fear.
Do not be the one who goes,
For in departing, one bestows
A wound upon the soul of those
Who must endure the pain and woes.
Stay, and let your heart be true,
For in remaining, you imbue
The world with love and sweet embrace,
And bring to it a brighter face.
Do not be the one who flees,
For in departing, one agrees
To leave behind a life unfulfilled,
And all the dreams that it instilled.
Stay, and let your spirit soar,
For in remaining, you explore
The depths of all that life can be,
And find the joy of being free.
So do not be the one who leaves,
But rather be the one who weaves
A tapestry of love and light,
And fills the world with wondrous sight.
