Silent Cries (Part 3)

Looking for one reason to live this life
A life I dreadfully despise
Searching….searching, but no results found
So I think I should just throw in the towel
So I get down on my knees
Ready to end it all 
Sobbing loudly
Breathing deeply
At a distance
So no one sees me
Hands on the weapon 
Ready to let go
Ready…aim….fire
But something says no
Nothing doing
I try again but it’s not moving
I wonder why 
I can’t even do this right
Then I hear a voice in the back of my mind
A voice I remember 
A voice so dear to me
A voice so familiar
A voice that’s always apart of me
