Sorry For Putting Myself First!!

I've lost my uncle
My mate tries to kill himself
My step gram gets throwm out of a car
I am struggling through my college course,
So I' m sorry for putting myself first!

The last 4 months have been the worst of my life!
Several times I  have thought,
How can I put a stop to this misery?
What will end this pain?

Pills,Vodka, that's what scott did
It would have worked for him if he wasn't found
Maybe I could do that too.
Slitting my wrists wont do anything
I just want to put a stop to all this hurting!

what am I thinking?
Suicide isnt the answer,
I have to prove that I can cope
I will cope
I will be myself and enjoy my life

So if I put myself first all the time I'm sorry
But I need to move on!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
