Suicide Self Justified

As I stand I look around
left, right, up and down
hearing it again I ponder
"devil? over yonder?"

When I explored myself farther in
depths, darks, shadows and sin
reassuring its presence in my head
"death? am I dead?"

Further deep into abyss
seemed to living in this bliss
I opening wider an ever so lightful door of "Life"
found myself standing in front of me, holding a knife

Furthermore more farther into mind
thought to be dreaming until I find
He pulling me into deeper black
looked me in the eye, stabbing I in my back

Farthest now thoughts stand still
bounded to try breathing before my last breath will
I blurring life out of vision
forced me to make I make one last decision

No farther forth can I venture
trapped to answering my question answered
He stabbing forward again the knife
left times up saying "that's life"

Interesting work..Not sure the outcome here; it seems that you are alive so I guess that you overcame the dark abyss and overcame the depression and are still living..Sara
