Don't let life drag you down when things start to get overwhelming & challenging. Just don't give up & try your best in everything you do and just give all you got, it will pay off in the future.

The cold crept in
One dark, lonely night.
My heart was broken,
No will left to fight.

It stole my senses,
Passing through each aching crack.
I felt defenseless,
No use in coming back.

I lie there paralyzed,
Fear no longer existent.
As it sinks in I realize,
This decision is permanent.

Now I start to slip away.
I feel warmth on my skin
Just like on a sunny day
A sensation I'll never have again.

My vision blurs,
My lights turned out.
One last thought begins to stir,
This is now my final route.
