Pills

"I've got the pills. I'm ready now."
Please don't do this. Spit them out.
"I saw the darkness and the light."
Please step back. Come back to me.
"Woke up and looked right at the pills."
Please...I don't know you. But don't leave this way.
"I put them down. Called for help."
Please just tell me what to say.
You are amazing, beautiful.
You are kind and loving.
You are a human being who
doesn't deserve to die.
"Thanks"
I'm here when you
need someone to hear.

Author's Note

Last night I was on Tumblr and saw someone who was about to take some pills. I saw there post about 3 hours after they posted it but I still tried to help them. This morning I found out she didn't take enough. She is ok now....

This is a very good piece . I have helped a suicidal friend before and she often tells others that I am the reason why she is alive .

I thought is was a great concept for a poem. That it happened is even better. The line
"Please step back. Come back to me"
I feel it should rhyme with the second line, just my opinion, and it's all a matter of opinion. Good job
