Dressed in white...
Why did she take her life?
Whatee'r the reason...
Be it a lost love...
Depression...
or
Not having dreams...
The butterflies
Saw some good in her heart
And rescued her
From the cold seas prison.
If your were she
With a second chance...
Would you choose life over death
And fly away into lost dreams
or
Take it again?

this poem caused me to ponder for a bit. the questions that you ask.. very deep ones at that. no, life's problems aren't solved by taking ones life. but in the heat of the moment one doesn't think about that. the reason that I say that I was there once long ago. only 16 then, but I didn't regret the choice I made then, and to tell you the truth, as painful and as raw as it can get. under the circumstances, I would have done it again. the life I had then wasn't all that great either. I would've rather death over being ignored and ridiculed by my parents.. thats not a life either.
excellent job with the prompt

Ahh yes! I wonder how many people would take that chance.. I think many must in the dying seconds regret their decision!! An excellent take on the prompt!
