A God Saving Suicide Poem

Inspired by Jesus Freaks

It seems it's been like this,
right since birth.
A life full of pain,
taking you for all its worth.

Life seems way to hard for you to bear.
The scars of your past life,
is all that you wear.

Can you please tell me!

You ask yourself, why am I here.
From this miserable life,
you just want to disappear.

To choose life or death is where you're led.
It seems that you're unable
to make the long road ahead.

Can you please tell me,
what's going on in your mind?
Can't you see, it's not meant to be,
it's time to leave the past behind.

The scars of life,
the never ending strife,
is life really worth dying for?

With your head down low,
dying isn't the way to go.
There's already to much
blood for us to ignore!

Only a coward gives up half way through.
So let me ask you,
what will you do?

Can you please tell me,
what's going on in your mind?
Can't you see, it's not meant to be,
it's time to leave the past behind.

Their you are lying bruised and torn.
The memories linger on,
wishing you were never born.

It's not bad as you may think it is.
But it'll be much better,
if your life was His.
