It's Now Or Never

My life hangs in the balance,
I am living day by day,I
often think of ending it cause
I feel it's the only way.

I've taken pills a couple times
but not enough to die,then
I sit and think I should,
and all I do is cry.

I know I need to get some 
help but always get scared
and run,but if I don't do something
soon,I know my life is done.

The time has come to face
my fears,I know it will
bring many tears.

With the Lord beside me all
the way,maybe tomorrow
will be a better day.

If I can't find the courage
inside of me,I will take
enough pills to set me free.
