They say you can't save someone
Who's been thinking about suicide
Honestly though no one believes that
Everyone who has dealt with suicide
Blames themselves for the death of the people they cared about
It doesn't always last forever
Though it does stick around for awhile
The depression and the guilt
The feeling that it's going to happen again
Always putting up a wall so no one can ever hurt you again.
Because the pain is just to much to bear
I can't really speak for all of the people
Who've ever dealt with suicide
I think that most will agree though that these words are true  
For me and you
These words strike home
They hit us hard even though we thought we had moved on
Even if we think we're not affected by it anymore
It lingers inside of is
Waiting for the moment it can devastate us.
It's like a curse
Its always there
Even if we're unaware
So why lie and say we are fine
We are most certainly not although we don't wanna admit it but we could probably use some help.
Suicide is life changing
It can wreck someone who has to deal with loved ones doing it.
It can change government policy
Or even world policy.
Suicide is a very powerful topic and action
It's not too be used lightly
Or brought up in a joke
When people realize this
Then maybe something amazing could happen
We could actually save a life maybe.
