'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.

Danny Stinson Date: 12/11/2011 7:23:00 PM 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?
