My body is trembling with fear.
As darkness drew near.
And soon everything would just disappear.
I never felt this frightened before.
Seeing everyone that I love, leave out of sight.
And going straight into the light.
While reaching out to me.
Calling out my name.
Telling me to fight the urge of going into the darkness.
Yelling to keep fighting the sleepiness that is strangling me.
I realized that I was not losing them.
They were losing me while I brought death into my life.
I fought the darkness.
I caught the hand that was reaching out.
And I kept my eyes opened as I saw the light above.
I was going to see my family again.
Because they are the most important thing in my life.
Suicide is just pain.
Pain that would not hurt me but hurt the people around me.
I have to stay strong and fight this depression.
Because nothing will bring me down.
Nothing can hurt me anymore.
Because I am stronger than that.
