Soulful Words From A Broken Spirit

Don't Do It

The voices within my head tempt me to take action,
Knowing that life isn't easy and I hate it with a passion,
I haven't been the same every since my grandma's passing,
Wanna fly up to heaven or take her out of that casket,

Everything around me is tragic as darkness circles my soul,
Feeling numb inside with no warmth I'm cold,
Wanna make a statement and it has to be bold,
So I'm planning to end it all with the gun that I hold,

Calling the people close hoping someone will answer,
Feeling like I'm already dying unable to fight this cancer,
Was this in his vision when my life became this manner,
I'm praying to you God please provide an answer,

Then suddenly the phone rings and on the other line,
His best friend from childhood since he was nine,
Asking how he was doing and he said fine,
But he could hear the difference so he gave him time,

Tell me what going on I can hear it in your tone,
And I couldn't explain I was silent on the phone,
Feeling like I didn't matter so heartbroken and alone,
But he's on my line asking me what's wrong,

He's screaming talk to me as I'm silent in a trance,
Then I snap back to reality and tell it all to my friend,
He drops the phone and comes to my defense,
Sits me down and tells me that my decision affects others in the end,

Crying my eyes out I ask him for help,
And he happily obliges so now I'm on the road to health,
It's been a long time since depression I've felt,
So if anybody is feeling this just reach out for HELP!!!!

This is a sensitive subject but suicide isn't to be taken lightly and it can often be avoided. Take time for anybody who needs an ear to speak you might be the one saving a life.
