Crossroad

October 4, 2012
By Anonymous

Screams in my head wanting to set free.
Pain inside is worse than losing
A loved one times three.
Satan whispers advice saying
"Just end it all."
I have already given up on myself
But my God hasn't.
He says "Choose life"
But death keeps knocking
Smiling and waiting.

The author's comments:
This is a dark moment in my past that almost turned fatal but I got over this with the help of a loving mother and best friend. my best friend did a project on teen suicide awareness and it got me thinking on the time I almost overdosed. My friend and others gave me a reason to live and I greatly appreciate them with all my heart.
