Suicidal

It was one of the hardest things I've ever dealt with, some of me just wanted to pretend the conversation never happened and I just wanted to forget everything but I knew that something had to be done, I couldn't let this happen, so.... I did what I knew to do..... I went and told someone.....

The hardest thing I've dealt with yet
Is a suicidal friend, who this year I met
She's nice, funny, and athletic too
But she wishes for death, doesn't know what to do
I found out in homeroom, On this April 5th day
I had no idea what to do, no idea what to say
I sat by her and talked to her for a little while

She cried for a long time, and just wouldn't smile
I asked her if she wants to talk to someone
But that's one thing she didn't want done
She was scared and didn't want her dad to fine out
Her life, she hated, there was so much doubt
So when the bell rang I got a pass to go

Talk to someone, who I trusted should know
They brought me to guidance who then spoke with me
I was scared, but I knew this was where I should be
I was wishing it never happened, and that nothing was wrong
Never had that conversation, and that she was still going strong
But I showed the lady the conversation we had

And she let me know I did the right thing, the news I had was bad
Well lucky us, my friends dad walked in, to give her a lunch
The guidance lady spoke with him, told him that I had a hunch
And after a long time they both walked in
And I had a long conversation with her dad
I showed him what his daughter had said
He cried a lot, but I'm glad he wasn't mad
After a while they gave me a choice
To go back to class or to stay

Almost crying, I almost had no voice
But I managed to talk anyway
They asked me if I'd like to talk with a friend
Someone that I can trust
I told them I'd like to talk with the one
That felt like being dead was a must
So they sent her in and we talked and she cried
She wasn't mad at me, she just wish she could have died
After we talked everything through

We went to the gym, so she could calm down
I'm glad I figured out what to do
I just want her to be okay, I want her to stick around
So now, though she's scared to go home
She knows its best, she can't face this on her own
Were all here to help her, we want everything to be okay
This was so scary, I don't think i've ever felt scared this way
I still remember the tears in her dad's eyes
It killed me to see him like that, seeing him cry

Then right before he left he embraced me with care
He thanked me for telling them, and for just being there
I will always be there for her, never to leave
I just hope she knows, and that she believes
Us when we say we love her, and how amazing she is
Her not being here, it would change how everyone lived
I wish her best luck, and I send her love now
I believe we will fight through this someway somehow
