Sometimes things happen

For no apparent reason


Sometimes people die

At the climax of their life


Sometimes people hurt others

Just because they can


Sometimes people laugh

When they really want to cry


Sometimes we can see hope

Only to have it taken away


Sometimes the light wins

But darkness strikes back the next day


Sometimes I think I'm worthless

Like I should never have been born


Sometimes I feel lonely

Even when my friends are at my side


Sometimes people try to kill themselves

And no one ever knows why


Sometimes I try to keep out my horrible thoughts

But the strike back with a vengence, and tell me all hope is lost


Sometimes I cry

But only when no one can see


Sometimes I want to die

Sometimes I want to tie a noose around my neck

Sometimes I want to take a knife and slice my throat

Sometimes I want to put a gun in my mouth and pull the trigger

Sometimes I want to take an entire bottle of pills


But my family keeps me alive

But my friends give me hope

But my belief makes me feel like I'm not alone

But my pets give me happiness

And love will always prevail
