Is Suicide the way out?

Dear poor boy, there’s no need to cry.
In time, everything will be alright.
Just take a deep breath, remember you’re worth it,
And slowly put down that wicked knife.
I understand the rejection you must feel,
not being accepted in your own home…
But there’s more to life than their homophobic ways,
and I promise you you’re far from alone.
At school she’s the center of all their laughs.
It’s just a joke right, what’s the big deal?
But when she goes home she purges their words,
along with today’s only meal.
Taking a few more pills than prescribed,
she then falls softly to the floor.
Don’t listen to those kids, beauty comes from within.
What you’ve become, you’re surely worth more.
Alone in his room, he ties his first noose.
His feelings have gone completely astray.
The mess in his heart is just too much to bare.
Pure love, for ‘the one that got away’.
Take my word, in time your heart will mend.
The world is full of false promise, and strife.
You’ll learn better ways to deflect your own pain.
This is no reason to desire the end of your life.
Suicide isn’t the answer, believe me I’ve tried.
There’s always a finer way to cope.
One day they'll see the world, for the wonder it holds.
Until then…
I have nothing but hope.
