I Choose Life

Its sad how sucidal thoughts appear to be engraved in our mind 
more so when we are at the verge of loosing our mind 
i choose life, it is so serene and beautiful and nothing to hide 
i wont mind if after life was beautiful as this life 
that's why i choose life 

the moral decay makes it worth while to breath and be free in this life 
how things are sacred make life even more certain 
i know a suprime being is watching  but am unperturbed 
judgement is coming, certainly i don't want to be judged 
that's why i chose life

if I be symbolic, i would picture how each day i breath 
represent each breath as a satisfaction for each day i see 
i would thank my maker for choosing this day
when am gone, if presented by a choice i would chose life 
the beauty in life is the uncertainity that surrounds tomorrow 
that's why i chose life
