From Now On

I stopped myself,
from just ending it all Sunday.
I was ready to take the plunge but
all I heard was
the ba-bump ba-bump of my heart,
all I saw was the sacrifices 
my mom has made for me
and I thought to myself..
you really want to give all this up?
Your family the things you love.
From now on
I think you're not a failure,
you're not a mistake;
you are somebody and not a nobody you are beautiful
and you are smart with a lovely big heart.
