Life's Trouble

Life Still Worth Living

We face many dangers during our life,
Trials and tribulation filled with strife;
Most times, we're not sure where to turn;
For the peace and comfort that we yearn;
Uncertain of the direction from that spot,
Anxiety starts from being deep in thought;
You find yourself with worrying in bed,
Not able to sleep with it filling your head;
Wondering what on do you do from here?
That anxiety is changing over to a fear;
Suddenly you snap going off the deep end,
Committing suicide, not able to comprehend;
Is it worth it at such a high of a price?
Using your own life for being a sacrifice;
Suicides do not get a Heavenly invitation,
That would just spoil your Holy reputation;
Instead of going up you will be going down,
Killing yourself, don't expect a white gown;
God is waiting to hear during times of pain,
Pray to Him for help before you go insane.
