Favorite Quote:
"you dont have to be what you dont want to be"
-?


On a bridge,
Or a tall building,
Someone now does stand.

Wishing to die,
But that is a lie,
They just need your hand.

Extended out with,
Words of hope,
They want to survive.

All they need,
Is your friendship,
To want to be alive.

So stand up,
And offer your kindness,
So they won’t lose it all.

You’re the friend,
And in the end,
You must obey they call,
Don’t let them jump.
