Life's Trials

Regardless of the tears I cry to drain away the pain I know there'll be many smiles on another given day I don't give up, I stand strong in any new found trial No matter what that test may be I strive hard not to fail I stand true to who I am even when I stand alone The truth can dawn from deep inside this I have been shown Do not break, stand your ground hold your head up high Dig deep within, find your strength to not drown in life's tide. (Suicide is never the right answer.... it takes your pain and gives it to all of those who love you. In reality, it's actually quite selfish)

I just wish I could get this message to so many young people out there who periodically threaten suicide when life isn't all peaches and cream. I know 3 young men in their 20's who do this often and it hurts everyone who cares for them. Their whole life still ahead of them and all they think to do is give up, it's very sad. Thank You Chris, glad you see. I will always be a survivor BECAUSE I have never given up, no. matter. what.
