Forgive Me

I am sorry for my mistake Selfish I was to blindly embrace The idea of running so far away From dilemma troubles to escape. I did not think of others at all Was hoping to avoid all talk Of dreams screams not standing tall Forgive me for being so hopeless so lost. That I tried to commit suicide Running from the villains in my life Was one two three times But love threw me a life line. No longer do I fear despair For love is here and oh so rare I no longer wish to dare Waste my life for God does care.

So let's try not to be an escapist. Though, reality tempts us to run away from everything ! It's hard to persevere sometimes, but anyways life goes on... Wounds don't heal with time, it just enters into some neglected corner as life rushes and from time to time keeps visiting us when we're lonely or scared

Thank God, for He cares... It seems to me that once that notion takes root, every moment of life becomes infused with meaning. ~ Suicide Prevention Team Member, gw

Indeed. Are you a suicide prevention team member? You rock! Thanks for reading. I nearly deleted this one as it is too revealing.

Thank you so much Deb! I am a survivor of childhood abuse and had the crazy idea to take my own life because of it, but never again will I sink so low.

Karma ensures people who do not learn their lessons relive the problems until they get it right . . . ..

Considering where you live, perhaps in a previous life you were a slave owner or master who repeatedly abused your charges and now you are getting pay-back so you learn not to do it again? Bad things happen for a reason!

Suicide is no solution. Prayers help a lot.

Agreed but God has the final say, and some people who do it never get the chance to say why or apoligize unless they leave a note.
