If you wish to die...

By Allen

Life is a choice.
Death is a decision.
Theirs no inbetween.
No gray just black and white.
Fight or flight.
That being said its not a easy choice.
Life sucks death seems a sweet release.
Peace for an internal war.
Before you chose know its a choice.
The voices shouldnt decide for you.
Take a look around.
Is it really that bad?
Or are you just sad?
Remember some people dont even have a family to care or anyone to cry too.
Some people are raped each day they live or beat till death would seem sweeter than anything.
But they still fight on.
Think of those children whos parents torture them.
Think of those childrens whose bellys are swollen from hunger.
Then decide.
After this is all said ive tried to commit suicide atleast four times.
Twice overdosed, twice with a gun.
Now i see i want to live a life with out selfpity and strife.
Ive come to terms with depression and will live as best as i can.
I still may not survive but i want to.
Now chose.
From me you will not be thought of as week but as strong as anyone.
You will not be forgoten whatever your choice is.
To everyone who sees this and has felt like taking your life be strong.
Your never alone.

    I understand what you're saying. But even so no one asked to be born so life really isn't a choice. It's forced upon us. And as for thinking of others and their struggles? Pretty much that's a copout "you think you're in pain but there is always someone with it worse off than you so your pain is insignificant". When you hurt why would you want to think of how others suffer in their ways? You can't compare pains and struggles because everyone takes to them differently.
