Hope
hope: a feeling of expectation and desire for a
certain thing to happen
a very simple word
yet it happens to be the most powerful
hope can change lives, and it could save them
too
hope can never be lost
1 million suicide deaths every year in the world
they were lost, but never gone
they gave up, but never lost hope
they took their lives; but never wanted to
one man committed suicide at the golden gate
bridge in the 70’s
he left behind a note that said, “i’m going to
walk to the bridge. if at least one person
smiles at me on the way, i will not jump.”
this man’s hope was the last thing he carried onto
just a smile could have stopped him from jumping
a sense of hope was all he had left
hope is the reason we’re all still here
the slightest bit of it given
could save someone’s life.

From personal experience, the idea of hope when having suicidal idealizations is significant. In this poem, I hope to bring awareness to suicide, and how you can help others and yourself. Hope can save your life.
