Little boy, Little girl

Stop

Listen

I see you little girl

I see your scared eyes

And your bleeding heart

I see your unsent notes 

And dulling blades

And i beg you

to stop

I am here

I can help

I see you little boy

I see your bruises

And your anger

i see the pain in your eyes

And the lines on your skin 

And i beg you

To stop

I am here

I can help

Little Boy

Little Girl

It gets better

Time will heal your scars

And the cracks in your heart

If you let it

I have stitches in my heart 

To hold it together

And staples in my skin

To stop it from splitting

and i promise you

I didn't put them there by my self

Little Girl

Little Boy

Let me help you

I don't want another suicide note

Of someone who died too young

Of someone

who had a lifetime left to live

Little boy

Little girl

Believe me

It gets better

Emily, there are times, which I believe this poem, and others, I want to swallow the pills, and end it. Having just read an on-line article about a twelve year old boy, who committed suicide, earlier this month. I have walked, in his shoes, having numerous attempts, which I couldn't go through, with it. As I hid this fact, from my parents, for several decades, before telling my mom, about 4 years ago. Even now, I have to guard myself, from allowing my inner critic, to take over, my soul. The next time, not so sure, I will be around to type, something like. As part of me, wants to find peace, at all cost, even death. This doesn't make me, suicidal, rather just stating a fact, I live with, on a daily basis.

I do hope, your poem will make a difference, to anyone, who teetering on the edge.

Thank you very much. I am a lot younger than you, but i am proud of you for being strong enough to keep fighting. What we tell ourselves sometimes can be way worse than what anyone else will tell us. I hope you keep getting better, i believe in you. It does get better, eventually.

Thank you, Emily. Right now, just want to curl up, in bed, with my cats, and sleep the coming winter, away.
