Save a life by remembering your blessings, your faults,
And the times you denied that you ever had any
You will then understand what you see

Leave your urges on the sidewalk
Go inside the space that you created
Then create space to draw on the wall

Cut the strings of restraint from your fingers
This is what you call freedom
We are not puppets; you, a puppeteer.

Next time you lift your arm, grab the edge of a cloud
Find the message of the souls lost too soon
Maybe they found the knowledge needed To Save A Life.

What Does God Think?

Did God really say to not spare the rod?
Did Jesus really say children are the most important in the kingdom of God?

Then how does God feel when a desperate and confused child,
Who has just suffered the rod,
Is kneeling before His throne
Weeping
Begging Him for answers to why their life is the hardest?
Why were they created to just suffer?

Is trauma really worth it
If you’ll become society’s example of a stronger and well rounded individual, later on?
Is the end really worth it?
If you (almost) ended it all, along the means?

What does God think?

How does God respond to that child growing up traumatized?
A bruise that leaves stains of blood on whoever they meet

Do they deserve hell, then?
