Do I take my life
And lose all the things I love
Do I keep my life

and think nothing of
Do I stay or do I go
Follow my heart, so confused
I chose my path, life and death

my love, I chose you

The author's comments:
I felt so hated, when this was written. I would never consider suicide, but my psyche felt like that. Cold and dead. Like nothing I could do was right.

I did feel like this, just so you know. And I felt like my emotions had been surgically removed because I was so hollow inside.

awwww i'm sorry you feel or felt this way or if you know someone who feels or felt like this! I think that it's pretty amazing you can come out and write deep feelings like this just know that someone loves you even if it feels like no one does and remember something good comes out of something bad even if it takes a while you can learn from the bad experiences! Life is not easy but it's ok because it's not supposed to be if you want a good life. I hope that makes sense to you:)

this is really short. the emotion doesn't appear to be that deep because there is so little being said. You seem like you don't even have this emotion  yourself. I feel like you watched someone else feel this and theen tried to write about it, which is worth doing. But just try to elaborate more and put in a little more emotion! :)
