Why

Why stay alive when you've got suicide,
why stay alive when you've died inside,
why would you try when you've got no pride,
why live a life that has nothing to gift,
why carry on when it feels so wrong.

What is the point, what is the why?

There is a peace to death, a reason to die.

I try to document the feeling when i'm at my lowest to help others who may not be able to find the words to explain, maybe they read this and say that's how I feel and then they might be helped or understood
