SUICIDE: A Poem on Darkness, Survival, and Choosing to Stay

2 days ago
Born into a world that never asked,
A silent scream behind every mask.
The days grow heavy, the nights too long,
A fragile heart, a broken song.
Pain whispers softly, yet cuts so deep,
A restless mind that cannot sleep.
The mirror reflects a stranger’s face,
Lost in the void, seeking a place.
What if the stars were never meant to shine?
What if this life was never truly mine?
The thought of escape, a tempting call,
To end the climb, to finally fall.
But in the darkness, a flicker remains,
A quiet voice that breaks the chains.
Life is not perfect, nor meant to be,
It’s the cracks that let the light break free.
The pain is real, but so is the fight,
Each step forward, a spark of light.
Hold on, even when the world feels cold,
There’s warmth ahead, a hand to hold.
You are not alone, though shadows may lie,
There’s strength in tears, in asking why.
The answer is not in fading away,
But in finding hope, in choosing to stay
