Just be happy, smile, don't notice this prison.

Don't do it, we love you, we want you to live
we ignore and reject you-but we will still grieve.

Don't do it-dont love her, don't cry when she's gone-
her decision to leave was naiive and wrong.

Don't cry for her, scream, or make an excuse-
the reason she's gone is cos of your abuse.

Don't do it-don't comfort her, and stifle her cries,
It's people like you, who make her want to die.

So when it's cold in her bedroom, and her memory makes you cry-
Don't do it-just sit there, and wish her goodbye. [comments] => 6 [counter] => 231 [topic] => 36 [informant] => Ashleigh4 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Suicide )
