Reason to Continue

by Kevin-- Cancer - Not entered

How many times have I thought of you
So glad something I never could do
Sweet slumber
Becoming just another number 
Just wanting it over
To be placed in a bed of clover
It would be so easy to do
Then I think of all of you
Only thing that keeps you from winning
Is the love I have for the living
The ones I would leave behind 
Grieving till the end of time  
Leaving them there to cry
Wondering why 
Why did I die
Why I would never again see the sun
Wondering what they could have done
They are doing everything now
For it is because of them I stay around
The only reason I don’t pick up a gun
‘Cause they are my sun
To watch them grow
They are the source of my glow
Even when we put one in the ground
They still will be my reason for being around

Reason for writing:

    No matter how bad it gets, suicide is not the answer.  It effects more then just you.  Think of your loved ones and how they would feel without you around.  Comments Always Welcome.
