So Close...

January 4, 2011
By Anonymous

I came so close to the edge of defeat,
but you stopped me.
Without even knowing it,
you saved me.
I came so close to ending everything,
with all that was going on in my life what was there left to live for?
Then I met you.
We became close.
You talked with me, spent time with me, and ultimately stopped me.
For that I'll forever be grateful for,
after I came so close to the edge of defeat.

Despite everything going on, I'm still trying to hold on...it's not too hard to figure this one out.

You can say that I'm a talented writer, but all I can do is write down my feelings on paper and form them into sentences with my own personal flavor.

It's a shame how I felt like this too many times. This speaks volumes for a lot of people that are going through this type of thing. However i think that it would be better if this were a bit more on the creative side instead of so blunt. Overall, it's really good. Please take a look of my work and see what you think about it.
