Life goes on

May 29, 2013

Life is a gift That we should hold dear, Living fully in each moment Till the end is near Dying unnaturally Brings more than tears, It haunts forever Leaving people in fear The sadness hangs heavy With those left behind, Your tracks forever messy From not saying goodbye Tomorrow is new So much could change, Couldn’t you wait? For it’s a new day You want the pain to end So you can just be done, But remember what I say That life does go on.

This poem should really speak to the people who were suicidal and to those who are currently dealing with depression and suicide. Taking your own life affects everyone around you. Although it seems like you can't go on and you think you're ready to give up, remember this poem and what it says; life does go on. What is occurring today, may be the smallest of issues tomorrow.
