* Plea to a Friend *

Do you know of my greatest fear?
Going a day...no contact here
You are emotionally in strife
No reason to live?...end your life?

 

To end it all, I know you've tried
Not many see those scars you hide
Popping pills, washing down with beers
Living alone...drowning in tears

 

Nothing to live for now you say
The pain you feel won't go away
You need to fight your way back up
Your life is precious...on it sup

 

Don't you dare make choice of coward
No wish to view coffin flowered
You prob'ly won't like what I've said
To hear you've done it is my dread

 

Don't be selfish...it's not your way
Respect your God...don't Him betray
To take your life...the greatest sin
Would you rather let Satan win?

 

If this poem ends our friendship
Then to you it must have meant zip
I've poured my heart out 'cause I care
There's lots more laughs we need to share

    This is a great piece and such beautiful words can onlu come from a close friend or relative. I love how you put your message across and I think she would definately be heeding your words very much. Your love and caring nature really comes through in this. As long as there is a hand there to help them up and a happy and cheerful soul such as yourself, then there is always light at the end of the tunnel. I do hope that your friend is okay and her feelings have changed somewhat. There is nothing sadder than losing someone in this way. I know only too well, my brother did it and it left so much pain behind. Excellent write.

    way to say what needed to be said in a loving way although the rhyme may take away from the meaning some. Dont get me wrong I love rhyme Im just saying if this is really meant for someone. Nice job and thanks for entering my contest.

    I second this motion. All in favor, say aye.

    Tell it like it is! If you can't get her with friendship, just give her a good kick in the butt... in turn this may relieve some of the pressure she is feeling, which I believe is partly due to gas build-up.

    Sorry, Cuz, had to add some humor to something so potentially devastating to us all.

    Love and hugs...

    Beautiful Just Beautiful

    what a heartfelt write. I feel your pain as I lost a dear friend to suicide over 10 years ago and it still hurts. Okay the tears are flowing. What a wonderful message to your friend you have penned you can tell they mean a lot to you.

    The poem has nice flow and rhyme and it was beautifully penned, I could not pick a favorite part as I was just blown away just a fabulous write all the way around.

    I hope you do well in the contest you entered and please keep the pen flowing!!

    Just excellent!!

      Thank you...

      I hope with all my heart that it gets some sort of message across. I feel like there is nothing I can do and it's eating me inside I consider myself a friend, but feel like I'm failing somehow. At a total loss and have continuous butterflies worrying that the worst will happen.
      Thanks so much for your great and supportive comment
