Maybe

A Poem by Jennifer Neuman

Maybe

Maybe you can do this

And prove the whole world wrong

I selfishly believe in you

That you will not do harm

You say 11 days

That turns my stomach too

I beg I plead for more

Please just let me help you

Save you from your own war

What if I'm not good enough

Then how will I deal

Knowing I didn't save a human life

Those wounds may never heal

So continue to beg i will

And pray a little too

I wish there was some way

To help you make it through

This really hit home for me as my best friend found out that I was thinking of committing suicide. She stopped me and her words were 'I couldn' t have lived with myself If I didn’t stop you' It is beautifully written and worded. OUTSTANDING.

No.. Suicide is never the answer you're right. "Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" One of my friends wanted to commit suicide and almost succeeded. But I helped her through :] I know how this feels too. Good job on another excellent write!

The praying and the hoping do help, but getting help from those that love and trust the person is a good idea as well. Yes the words have been said before, but when they are assembled for a new person struggling with thoughts of suicide new meaning is encrypted within the words.

This feels to me like a collage of saying ripped out of a few motivational-type books.

Although it feels very fresh and original since you've employed a lovely rhythm and style here. Great Job!
