Almost a Suicide

The girl woke up one day
Showered and got dressed
Did her hair and put on make-up
So she could look her best

Her morning seemed just fine
Until everything went wrong
She got in a horrible fight
And just had to play along

When she got to school
She was asked if she was okay
This girl always said she was fine
Although she didn't feel that way

Her day went too slowly
She became more and more depressed
Everyday school troubles
Made her so distressed

She got a bad grade
Got in a fight with a friend
And with her troubles at home
It was her life that she decided to end

The whole way home from school
She wouldn't talk too much
She was really debating
How she would end her life and such

When she got home
Her dad fell asleep
So she came out of her room
And down the stairs began to creep

She went into the kitchen
And pulled out a knife
This was the way
That she had planned to kill her life

She went into the living room
With the knife and with a note
A note to those she loved on earth
All her feelings seemed stuck in her throat

She picked up the knife
And first placed it at her chest
This girl tried to decide
Which place would be best

She pushed the knife towards her throat
And then she didn't know why
But before she made the last move
She stopped and began to cry

The feelings overwhelming her
Pulled her separate ways
One said, "Kill yourself now."
And the other, "Don't and live more days."

Silently she got up
And put away the tool
She went back to her room
And thought that she was a fool

How could she have tried to kill herself?
Why had she really almost did?
What was the thing that stopped her?
That made her stop and give

One thought coarsed through her mind
She was thankful for it then
The thought was a person - her angel
And she'd never try to commit suicide again

She picked up her suicide letter
Tore it into many pieces and threw it away
I still thank God for that angel
That's in my life still to this day
