Often when young thoughts filter the mind,
we know not what to do and contemplate suicide.
Only once I was so hurt even my tears refused to fall ,
and in that moment of decision an angel came to call.
I fell to my knees and begged her to take me home,
she stroked her finger through my hair and whispered never go alone.
Everyone on this earth has a time they must leave ,
but honey only God has that right to take you dont you see.
I fought her and told her but there is nothing for me here,
that's when she took my hand and said follow me my dear .
See those bright lights and the golden gates beyond,
that's where the life after goes on .
But their are rules one must follow you see,
the decision of leaving this earth can't come from you and me .
To take ones own life once given by God above,
honey wishing to be in heaven is just not enough.
There is nothing upon this earth worth dieing for you see,
unless one is protecting another from harm and quickly you flee.
Not thinking of oneself to save another is the ultimate sacrifice ,
and that life shall rest in heaven from that time.
Make each day the way you want your life to be,
honestly it is your own decision don't you see.
If you are sad then tell me what shall we do,
to find that joy you have buried so deep inside of you.
Life is what we make it to be so tell me today ,
how are you going to change your ways.
It's there in arm reach yet you stay so blind,
and remain within your prison you have built in time .
Think not of death or the after life my dear ,
think of the life you so have and get it in gear.
The little angel looked about me and replied why do you keep your room so dark ,
It's time you lighten it up and get out and take part.
If your way of dress draws stares and ridicule ,
then why not change it and stop the duel .
And if your way of makeup frightens those around,
if its not bringing you happiness hon then remove it now.
You can't hide the person from within,
for a frown it will bring .
For the girl within you left behind,
she is the only one to help you see.
Author notes
E Is there really an after life My own belief and heart feelings I know in my heart thow shalt not kill and this includes ourselves . It is one of the commandments and to reach this heaven you must give yourself to God through baptism for he and he alone can free you of your sins and be reborn again to live your life to its fullest and know when your time comes you will walk through those golden gates and into the light . Once you believe you will see him through your loved ones eyes you will see the people he sends to you to help you on your way you will glow with the knowledge of the blessings of another day . For there is no problems too bad that he cannot bring to right just give yourself to him and live for life is precious take it not in vain

Sad that one has to even write about such a subject, for if it never happened, I wouldn't be reading this poem. No life is worth taking before their time, yet so many people of all ages die each year by their own hand. You write well in the form of an angel and quite inspirational is this what you have penned here. Well expressed and thanks for sharing.

wow..this is such an inspiring piece...I sure learned a lot and I agree with you that 'happiness is a decision within' thank you for being an angel to us!!!

Interesting piece and contest title, I try not to think about it just yet, it's hard enough to live rather than contemplate the end of it just yet.

A beautiful poem of respect for life. The most precious God gave us is life and for us to take it is unthinkable. Yet so many still do or try too anyway.
