Human beings
Have a unique tendency
To not appreciate their amazing bodies.
To not believe in themselves.
To have such an incredibly low amount
Of self esteem
To the point where they contemplate
Ending
Their lives.
They think that nobody will care
Nobody will notice
If they don't wake up the next day.
They may think of jumping.
Falling.
Speeding through the air
Like a tossed quarter or dime or penny
Into a fountain.
They think that they are only worth
That single penny
That flew through the air
And sank
And hit the bottom of the fountain.
They flicked that quarter or dime or penny
And they made a wish.
A wish that they wouldn't have to
“Deal with it”
Anymore,
A wish that they
Would not
Wake up tomorrow.
But they may not be aware
Of what lies before them.
When they open their eyes in the morning
Their whole life is still ahead of them.
Chances,
Opportunities,
Little moments
That mean the world.
For some reason,
They don't believe
That the future holds these precious moments
They don't believe
That their loved ones
Love them back just as much.
I'm telling them...
I'm telling you,
That I believe.
I believe in you.
