SUICIDE by KENNETH OODEE 

The world will offend you
Friends will betray you
Love will break you
Hate will Isolate you
Family will reject you
School will fail you
Depression will silent you
People will judge you
Government will neglect you
Opportunity will pass you
Don’t hang yourself,
Cause I’ll rather listen to your story
Than attend your funeral

You will become a victim
You will hit the prison
You will be traumatized
You will be hospitalized
you will do good and get bad in return
You will trust and be damaged
You will be hurt and be wounded
You will sobber without comfort
You will struggle without assist
You will give up without encouragement
Don’t poison yourself,
Cause I’ll rather listen to your story
Than attend your funeral

The rivers will make you thirsty
The sun will bring you darkness
The breeze will give you heat
The moon will no longer be your spotlight
The earth will starve you
The sky will judge you
Time will forget you
Hope will leave you
Life will punish you
Even death will call you
Don’t shoot yourself,
Cause I’ll rather listen to your story
Than attend your funeral.
