Description: A piece depicting Hannah writing down a list of reasons to live that out weighed the original 13 Reasons she'd written not to. Every life is filled with it's fair share of pros and cons. Hannah Baker needed to she both of her's on a list that would give her another reason to Stay.
Disclaimer: I claim 100% ownership to the original piece itself, not to the characters or the story written that I chose to portray them in. This piece was inspired by My Life and what I'm currently going through. It's meant to provide a remind to any who struggle, please Stay.
Author's Note:
This piece wasn't written originally as a Grief Share excercise that I soon saw potential in as a poem with each word I wrote. I'm sharing to inspire Hope, something I could use the most of all right now as a reminder daily.
