The Fight Against Life

Suicide.

When life as we know it becomes too much to handle

and the burden of life out ways the burden of death.

When judged by others and pushed to your breaking point

each and every day of your life.

When you feel worthless, unloved and as if you have no purpose.

It’s what we turn to; suicide.

Gas, guns, knives, ropes, pills and anything else that kills.

Because pulling a trigger is easier

than waking up to every day to a life you hate.

It’s simple; just end it all with a split second decision

and along with your life goes all the pain and suffering.

But it doesn’t; your life might be over but the pain and suffering is left

with everyone who was close to you.

You choose to leave it all behind.

Your friends, family, future; your life.

Cast it all away because it can’t get better no matter how many times you have been told it will.

Well you’re wrong, it can.

But only you can make it better.

You can positively impact every person you ever meet.

But not if you aren’t alive to do so.

Lying in bed for hours on end crying your pain away might be easier than facing your problems

but when you are faced with a challenge you don’t give up.

You beat the challenge and become a stronger person.

I wish I could tell all of you right now that life is all uphill from here

but in reality it’s a never ending rollercoaster that will knock you on your ass

to the point you just want to stay down.

You don’t; you get up and fight through it because

suicide might end the chance of your life getting worse but it also ruins everyone else’s that loved you

and sure as hell ends the chances of it ever getting better.

Fight through this because you’re stronger than

anything life can throw at you.
