Contemplating Suicide~

by Lindsay C   May 6, 2005


A silent tear streams down her face, the pain she secretly bares.
She feels all alone in this world, like no one really cares.

No one notices her now, so who would miss her if she's gone?
Her life doesn't amount to much, so why should she hold on?

She's trapped in the darkness with no hope of finding the light.
Everything's gone wrong and nothing can make it right.

The pain that she's feeling overflows to a knife.
She carves on her arm, wants to give up her life.

Her tears are flowing harder now and she begins to shake.
As she looks down at her arms, at all of her "mistakes."

She searches for the courage to press harder and end it all.
Her heart is racing faster now, the bloody tears still fall.

Suddenly an image flashes in her mind.
One of a different place and a different time.

She sees herself as a child clinging to her baby doll.
The one with curly hair she had boughten at the mall.

She remembered dreaming of having kids and being the best mother she could.
And in that very moment, she finally understood.

Her tears have changed their meaning now, not tears of sorrow but tears of relief.
Her fears and doubts have gone away and she's left with some belief.

She finally feels some purpose, like she's got something to give.
While in her search for a way out, she found a reason to LIVE!!

-To anyone contemplating suicide..
"Everyone has a reason to
live....find yours!"

*this kinda came to me all at once..I hope it's not confusing to ya'll..plz comment!*
