Life is to short

Butterfly fly away.

Save me from this awful place.

With tears and sorrow in a negative state.

Love is the only thing that remains.

My heart is full of beauty.

But my body is full of scars.

And I think to myself, is it time to go?

Or am I just dreaming.

My soul is stuck in this battle of hatred.

Witing it would just end.

Pulling out a gun and sticking it to my head.

Before I get a chance to pull this trigger.

Theres a peacefull voice insde my head, telling me to STOP.

Telling me to WAIT.

Telling me there's so much more.

That all there people don't know what they are missing out on.

Love and Beauty are the purest things in life.

And you have so much anger going on inside.

That you dont realize.

That your the reason your still alive.

And your not fighting this battle alone.

Your gaurdian angel is the love you seek.

That while that gun is pointed to your head.

You finally realize.

You were never alone and that you've made it this far why give up now.

So as your breathing heavily.

You put down that gun with no shame or doubt.

Get up and dry your eyes.

And walk outside.

Screaming to the world.

THIS IS MY LIFE NOT YOURS, AND I'M NOT GIVING UP NOW.

Your foolish words can't hurt me no more.

Because I know that once i'm gone I can't come back.

And from this day on I will stand my ground.

And show people how strong I really am.

And I will not let my butterfly of love. 

FLY AWAY.


The author's comments:

This poem right here is not about me, but its about all the suicide people out there who can call themselves survivors for not taking their lives away.

This poem is honestly about a girl who is always bullied and put down her entire life and can't handle it no more. So she goes to her room and pulls out a gun, well before she gets to pull the trigger she hears a voice telling her it's not worth it and that voice is her gaurdian angel and the love she never gets. So she listens to that voice and finally gets the courage to say I know i'm strong and once i'm gone people will see me as another person who is weak and thinks theres nothing going for me in life. So the girl goes outside and screams to the world, basically saying shes not leaving.

And this poem inspires me because I know that people are strong and people can get let down really easy and might not get the attention they need but I do know and they know to that they can make it through life without people.

Because you don't need people to have a happy life all you need is love, courage, and faith in yourself. And you have to believe you can do it. And i can almost gaureentee that if someone took their life that those people that let that girl/boy down will be wishing they had not done that because they finally see what a great person you really are. 

But I hope you enjoy my poem and what its about and if you have anything at all good or bad leave me a comment so I can listen to what you have to say.
