The Hardest Decision
November 16, 2021
Waves splashed
Bodies crashed
Don't know what to do
Torn between life and death
It hurts if I go
Hurts even more if I stay
What good is remaining here
If im just in pain every day
So here I’ll stay
Unsure of what to do
Not wanting to live
But not wanting to die too

Dude this reads like butter (that's a good thing)! Nice job! Also if you are genuinely considering taking a dirt nap, remember there are things to live for, you just need to look for them.
I used to strugle greatly with my mental health, and I wrote this poem when I was deep in depression. Thankfully, I got the help that was needed, but I wanted to spread awareness because it could save a life.
