&quot;Don&#039;t walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don&#039;t walk behind me, I may not lead. Walk beside me and be my friend.&quot;<br /> &quot;Don&#039;t let the darkness of the past cover the brightness of the future.&quot;

We've all been told,
Once or twice,
That we're not good enough,
That we're not right.
They call us ugly,
'Cause they don't know,
What beauty is,
When it really shows.
We all have scars,
Physical and emotional.
They really think,
That we're disposable.
We have each other,
That's a fact.
When we pull through,
See how they react.
Don't go,
Don't go,
Don't go,
Hold on tight.
Someday we'll all,
Find the one,
Who makes our smiles,
As bright as the sun.
We're all beautiful,
If not one was or another.
We'll all pull through,
Because we have each other.
Don't cut,
Don't bruise,
You're better than that.
Don't go,
Don't go,
Just think about it.
Someone out there,
Loves you for,
What and what,
You really are.
Don't do.

The author's comments:
I know people who self harm or have had suicidal thoughts, and I want them to stop because things will be alright someday. I just want them to stop and although writing a poem won't do much, I just needed to let them know that things will be ok. This is for everyone who has those days when they don't want to live anymore.
