I'm given a choice between life and death.
Do I run away,
and grab hold of the knife?
Or do I chose to stay,
within this torment called life.
Life brings so much pain and so much anguish.
Life brings love, which drives me insane.
I fight for something that I know must end,
and when it’s done I ask myself.
Was it worth it?
Wouldn't death be so much easier?
To never have to wake up
and stare into the hideous image,
that lies with in the mirror.
Never have to endure these moments
that make life so impure.
Never have to hear the words
“I love you”,
from the person I love most.
No more waking up knowing there is something to see.
No more having the people I love,
standing right there next to me.
And now I find,
that I chose to fight,
because within my mind
choosing life is the only choice that’s right.
