The Broken Bird

A tribute to all teens who committed suicide, and a message to all those who are considering it: DON’T GIVE UP.

One girl, one happy girl

Is like a bird

Beautiful, soaring, free

Every person starts out as a bird

Happy, joyful, ecstatic

Drifting through life without a care

Of course, everyone goes through problems in life, whether it be

Divorce

Bullying

Coming out or

Loss

Everyone goes through problems

When these problems go too far

It’s hard for a bird to fly

When they go even farther

The bird is broken

Unable to fly

Unable to hang on

Unable to see the light

Sometimes, it just gets to be too much

They can’t bear the burden any longer

They decide to end it themselves

Once and for all

But we can avoid this tragic fate

We are never truly alone

You have people to turn to

You have people to talk to

You have people to repair your broken wings

People to repair the broken bird

And believe me,

We’ve already lost far, far too many
