Choose Life
When did it get so hard?
when did the ball and chain appear?
who snuck it upon me when I wasn't looking?
snap back to reality
it's my life why does it seem so weird?
the mirror can't lie
tells me I am losing the battle
don't let this take my will from me
strong, is it just a word we are taught to be?
say again once more with feeling
I will make it, I will make it
I am strong, I am strong
don't close the book
without reading the last chapter
don't you want to know
what comes after?
I do, I do
I will fight, I will fight
no one but me will win this war
some battles I have lost
but my spirit, no nothing can take that
and that's all I need to get through
so I won't release it, it stays tucked away
behind an iron cast
the cost to go on is not enough to lose
I will fight for my life
I chose to live
until the fates see to take my breath
I will not end it, I will continue to seize it
I chose to go on, please make that choice too.

My friend recently committed suicide. I chose to write this because I know several people in the world is depressed but ending it yourself is not the answer.
