Journey

I saw the bad part of life, lost interest in living, wanted to die. But death was not in my hands. Then I decided to live for others happiness through selfless service. I found joy, wanted to live. --------- 11.09.2021 Constance La France ''J'' Contest, New or Old

Beautiful.... We are given life for a purpose. Sometimes, we know it right away. Sometimes, we have to find out. Sometimes, He leads us.... Have a Blessed Sunday, Rama and conrgratulations.

WoW! Rama, I, too, felt like this; after many years of pain and abuse, I wanted to die, but like you said,” death was not in my hands. However, in retrospect, I didn't want to die; I just wanted the pain to stop. I'm so happy that you chose to live. This poem is a winner in so many ways. Best wishes in the contest.Kudos to you for using Poetry Soup as a platform to share your story. This is going into my fav collection. Have a great day and weekend:-) Alexis
