Dying To Be Heard

Dying To Be Heard

by December Rose

***ATTENTION***ATTENTION***

THE FOLLOWING IS A BROADCAST OF THE EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM

This is NOT a test

Tens of thousands “free” themselves annually

Choosing to leave this world

and end their misery ---

HELP ME

Speak life

So, I can live

instead of just exist

Speak life

to give me hope

So, I won’t cut my wrists

Shoot self-esteem in my veins

So, I know I’m majestic

Inject me with empowerment

So, my overdose is not a D.O.A. statistic

Love me each day unconditionally

Remember to say

There’s no one in the world like me

Treasure every moment

Try to make them last

The challenges of life

make the time pass too fast

Ignorance is NOT bliss

It’s just pain (put) on pause

until the next “hit”

This Public Service Announcement has been brought to you on behalf of

*the 8.7 million people who seriously considered…

*the 2.3 million people who made plans…

*the 1.1 million who attempted…

…and those who no longer have a voice

Can you hear me now

now

now
