's-Note'

Heart expecting more. Face smiling less. Mind racing rapidly. Soul needing rest. Maybe I should take this life of mine tonight. Attempting to live right. Reality; existing wrong. Dealing with pain for 20 years. Fighting a losing battle for too long. Maybe I should take this life of mine tonight. Reading through the bible. Praying to my Lord. Struggles are still here. Faith becomes ignored. Maybe I should take this life of mine tonight. Alone... Lonely... Myself. Manic, distraught thoughts I've dealt. Love... Affection... Esteem; Extinct. Wrist, Paper. Knife, Pen. Blood; Ink. I think I'm going to take this life of mine tonight.

There is so much pain in here. But promise yourself just one more day. I've had depression and schizophrenia since age seven and I know that it's a struggle, but if you're gone, how would I be able to read your beautiful words?
