Suicide

Don't do it.

By Tori MPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

Part of me just wants to die.

I take a breath, breathe in and sigh.

I put the gun up to my head,

and as I do I feel tears shed.

I hesitate, I just can't shoot.

This one decision is absolute,

but this is where I realize

that suicide just isn't wise.

I know you're hurt, I feel your pain,

but kill yourself, what will you gain?

Those you love will fall apart.

You'll leave them with a broken heart.

You don't have hope but just despair.

But please trust me because I've been there.

All the worst will go away.

Just stick around another day.

Soon you will see things happen for a reason.

just stay strong and the good days will ease in.

There's so much life still left to live,

don't pull the trigger, learn to forgive.
