Do or Not Do?

I should be afraid of death;
But it so happens that,
With every breath I take,
I release all the aching pain.
I want to make that jump,
But I'm stumped,
With all the thoughts,
Swirling around.
Do or not do?
That is the question.
Of course there is hesitation,
I don't want to hurt my loved ones.

The problem is,
They were often the problem.
But sometimes death seems like such a relief.

At every brief moment,
I do have something that seems to stop me.
Making me unable to have my hopeless soul escape my body.

Death often does terrify me,
I just hide it so well,
Because my mind,
Is no longer swell,
I am blind,
I pressure my self,
To take my own life.
