Steve Wood Poet Rhyme

Better Off Dead

Would I be better off dead
I can't live this way any more
Thoughts keep rushing through my mind
This is something I can't ignore

Would I be better off dead
All I have done is fail
My madness keeps me sane
And my body is so frail

Would I be better off dead
I feel am going insane
My heart is full of sadness
My body full of pain

Memories are all I have
And that's what makes me sad
Or do I think my God don't care
Yes, that's what makes me mad

Jesus, I  know he died
For us upon the cross
I Know that this is true
So why do I feel so lost

My death is not the answer
I,m tired of all the sorrow
So life I choose to be
Looking forward to every tomorrow
