Do I Want to Die
Do i want to die
Sometimes, yes
In those moments when i wish i was anyone
but me
On those days when my words get jumbled and my face gets twisted and i just cant seem to
get it right
In those times when everything makes me cry
and my stomach hurts and i seems like no one
is on my side
In those seconds that turn into hours when i feel
the burden of being so small in a world that is so big
Do i want to die?
sometimes, yes
When i hear the tick of the clock and watch as time goes by
finally realizing that with each passing second i and growing older and there is no way to escape what
lies ahead
When Monday turns into Friday in a blink of an eye and
I begin to understand that i just wasted another week of my life sitting, in a chair, pretending
to be interested in something that i am not
When i know that i could be anywhere, doing anything
Do i want to die???
Sometimes, yes
When i carry the judgement, the pain, and the responsibility on my shoulders and it feels as if gravity itself doesn't want me to get out of bed in the morning
When I think of the people i've lost and how easy it would be to leave this behind and find them again
When i truly believe that i won't be missed
DO I WANT TO DIE?
No.
Because, sometimes, i like being me
Because I know that for every time i get it wrong
I'll do it right
Because i laugh WAY more than i cry and because
sometimes its okay if no one is on your side
Do I want to die?
No.
Because Its Me vs. The World
Because I've got a long life ahead of me and i can't wait to see what happens next
because with age comes experience, and with experience comes knowledge, and with knowledge comes wisdom which is the definition of MY NAME
Do I WANT to die?
no.
Because when the sun is up and shining,
I want to be too
Because i want to be able to say
I MADE IT
And then let the hardships of my life get a good look at my back side as i turn around and walk the other way
Because i know that there is at least ONE person in this world who i want to live for and that person is ME
DO i want to die?
NO.
Because I've never been good at grammar rules and i hate those marks called periods
Because periods mean THE END and i refuse to let this blessing called life be cut of by a tiny black dot on my paper
because for MY LIFE, a semicolon still isn't enough
See, instead of one period, i want three
because in THIS moment,
I choose to CONTINUE with an ellipse
