You Come First
Our youth
they talk of suicide
this seems to me
a place they hide
To give their heart
a way to drain
and relieve it
from a terrible pain
The help they need
resides within
and will not be found
upon their skin
For in this life
folks will oft let you down
leaving you feel
as you're about to drown
Their acceptance is great
but your own must come first
to love who you are
is a most worthy thirst
