Life Or Death

If you knew there was something wrong, Would you really want to be gone? Wouldn't you seek a treatment, Hoping for more time to be spent? Heaven is a beautiful paradise, But life itself can be just as nice Being alive is so worthwhile, For it always makes me smile But when it's over and you're dead, You leave behind a sense of dread

Mmm, you know, suicide tendencies are very complex because of the paradojical nature of the situation; peace and dispair, cowardice and courage, crashing emotions are found in the same person at that exact moment; uuu nice!! thanks for the experience =D

Hope all is well. Not sure what this is about, but it certainly holds truth. Love, Shar
