Poem
This tale is a grim tale, so you must beware It's about a man living in despair. This tale is sad & filled with gloom But you'll see the pain in his heart very soon. You'll see his anguish, his failures & also his fears You'll see why his eyes are always filled with tears. You'll see how hard it is for him to cope & see him go through life without any hope. Living day by day, without a sence of time Wondering how & why he's in such a bind. You'll see him curse God & wonders why If God had mercy on him, why won't he let him die. You'll seehim wanting to end this precious gift called life All because he lost his children & his beautiful wife. He'll wonder if suicide is the answer To get the inner peace he seeks But if he goes through with it Will he be concidered weak? What will be his legacy? Will be the question on his mind What will become of the children He so selfishly left behind. What will become of the woman He misses so much Will the ending of his life Result in another man's touch? Would even care or even cry Or will she be happy that he chose to die. Will she rejoice because she doesn't care This be the last thoughts Of a man in despair. This man stuggles & lives in constant pain The hurt is so great, it's driving him insane. There's no need to tell this tale anymore Because no one cares This man made it hard for himself So he lives in despair. He made choices that were bad & ill-advised He needs to wake up & realize. That life sometimes has it's ups & downs Your family still loves you, so please stay around Get those suicidual thoughts out of your head. Your children still need you & don't want you dead. Despair is a feeling that time will eventually heal Living with it is hard & sometimes you may feel Like life isn't worth living of life is unfair But stand up & be a man & don't give in to despair. Don't give into the pain Don't let it rule your soul Don't let it fester in you Don't give it control Let God in your heart & his love he will share Him & ONLY Him can conquer despair. He'll bring you the joy that's missing from your heart He will destroy despair & give you a fresh new start. Self-loathing isn't good for you Self-hate is a curse You must learn to love yourself & put God first. You must put Jehovah God in your life With him you can't fail The despair will become a memory & a happy ending to this tale. Despair will disappear & the inner-pain will too You'll become stronger from the things you've gone through. Those suicidal thoughts will soon leave & you'll begin to care. God is the only answer to ridding yourself of despair.
