There it was
The whole world
Right there in front of me
The people that cared
That would stand beside me to the end
I just didn't realize
The pain i caused
The friends i hurt
Now it hurts
The battles fought and lost
With myself to the end
What do i do now that its gone
What hurts the most
Is the pain i caused for myself
I'm fighting a battle against time
The time lost and gained
Here in this room
I sit in the false light
not alone, no, me and my spirit
The one always there
I have found the safety
The safety in the darkness
Now I've given in
The easy way out
No one cares enough to stop me
Not even the friends there
They sit and watch
Waiting, waiting for the others to speak
Then one gets up
Says stop its not worth it
You've lost the battle
But not the war
I'm here lets go
Get away leave it behind
Time to run to live
And live to run
You choose your fate
No one but you
Cause when push comes to shove
You get mad you get strong
You fight back
You live on
Cause if your gone
Its the end of all
Its pain through all
Its the end of the line
Its the end of the race for life
Its the light now faded
The safety in the death
Its what will hurt us all
Author notes
in dedication to a dear freind, if you relize that someone is going to hurt themself, cause once there gone its like life has come to a stop. and you have to get back up, not given in and take the easy way out.

Wise Words!
There is wisdom and compassion in your words and no wonder the poem sounds so sweet. In your author page, I saw that you are new to faith. Prefer never to preach, for often we can not live upto what we preach.
Try to live like Jesus did, helping others, loving all, forgiving all, treating everyone equal. Easy said but not so easy to follow I know. But if you tried and people see it in you, that is the best way to be a good Christian.
Today Christianity is losing its place mainly because we don't live as we should. Sorry for sounding like a preacher but it hurts to see Good people misled.

Wow... this is a really a great poem..
there are some dramical errors but that is only human
"Im fighting a battle against time
The time lost and gained"
These two lines stand out the most
It is something that shows thoughts were rolling around in a working brain
Keep up the good work
and i mean it

i can relate...unfortunetly. i personally almost got pulled in a selfdestruction mode.... and also i have a friend who caused me much pain as he hurt himself. Yes, this didn't only affect him, but his friends too, me. I tried my best to help, and i believe i did help. i couldn't wait and sit back to let someone else speak. It hurts to see others in pain, especially people that you care so much for.
a very good poem. very touching and an eye-opener. thank you for sharing this with us. It flows very well.
be well -
