The Choice
The Choice
Love Lost… I might not care but I do.
Love found again but not for long.
Hope is lost with every breath I take.
Courage found sometimes but is quickly lost.
Heart is broken every time I’m in that spot and the life might not be worth living anymore.
Suicide may be an option, but why would I choose it?
A thing that would never be forgiven by anyone.
So many die from teen suicide every day,
Is there any way to stop it? I do not know, nobody knows, and I don’t think anyone even cares.
The scars of life are opening and not healing from the hate.
I just want it to end. All the hate but death is not an option maybe a choice?
I could change, but would I want to?
But it is so hard to do.
To fit in easily
Loss of love for things that I used to enjoy
Life seeming pointless and I now want it to end. But so many people are counting on me to live my friends, my family, everybody who DOES love me.
So here’s the choice. Live life even though there is still so much hatred and lies or to end my life and dampen the lives of everybody who that I love and who DO love me.
With the blade in my hand and the cut on my wrist I think to myself “should I just do it now” and my decision is No I won’t kill myself because I still can love and death is the one thing that will not be tolerated. Plus I do not want to be added to the teen suicide # that is too much.

But isn't the point when you can't take your life anymore.....you're willing to give up every thing just to feel nothing? To escape the "unescapeable," Pain itself? There's a choice, but it's more like a threat when you're depressed, isn't it? A threat that you're going to die soon..some day depression will take you, so why not just do it now..and rid yourself of the "unescapable Pain?" Why not. Well, maybe we aren't as depressed as we think we are.
this poem represents the choice a teen would make at a time when they are in a serious situation. and how a simple choice can change their lives for better or for worse.
