Life worth saving

A letter to the suicide victim.

By Joe PattersonPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

There’s a soul in the world who does a lot of giving and thinks they don’t have a life worth living.

Pain took up a space that was missing to you, but I’m here to tell you now that I will listen to you.

Sometimes it seems like nothing will go right and you think the answer is taking your own life.

But I’ll do what I can to stop you. You think you’re worthless but I’m here to tell you that’s not true.

If you fall down when life’s off track, I’ll be there to pick you up because I’ve got your back.

You think no one knows you now, but I’m here to show you now through all your struggles I will hold you down.

Life can be a fiery fight, but don’t take it from yourself, you’re strong enough to make it through this fiery life.

I refuse to let suicide get you. Your life is worth saving and I’m here to make sure that it continues.
