Don't give up
Never let go
Follow what's inside
Don't be afraid to shine
Be your destiny
Control your dreams
Take some chances
Anything can be your reality

Heart thumping
Face on the desk
We're talking about suicide
And I know what comes next

She tells us not to look
We have to close our eyes
She says it's an anonymous survey
And I wonder if I should lie

Raising our hands is a yes
And everything inside me
Screams no while I
Try to calm my bouncing knee

I raise a tentative hand
When she asks if we've considered suicide
That tentative hand raise is the largest step I've taken
And part of me feels peace deep down inside
In Health class today we were talking about suicide and she told us to close our eyes and put our heads on the desk and she asked us a few questions about suicide and I've never told anyone blatantly that I've been suicidal so this is a small step I suppose.

Walking outside, what do you see?
 I see the beauty of the world and                     how we're living in it.
The homeless begging for help and support, car alarms going off, people talking, running, music playing, trains, so many things going on around me.
Some at peace, some crying for help.
But where do you stand?
What is your purpose?
Love and Peace is what we need in this world. The way we live is, the life we choose...
Where do we start on changing our life?
When will we begin? When will we change?
 I have to remind myself everyday, that things will change and there would be better days.
No one hears me, no one cares, I'm just alone in this dark world, where there's a word call FEAR..
Some don't say it, nor do they show it, but deep down inside we know it's there.
      It takes so little for disaster to strike and turn somebody from a person who can give a hand to somebody that needs a hand.

As I wake at dawn hearing the birds whistling and chirping
Spring has officially come
The beautiful sunrise
The birds flying across the radiant red and orange sky
The world seems at peace
Waking at dawn makes me feel free
Clear of all the blur..
Another day has come
Another day of living!

Moving forth
  Pushing forward with no hopes of going back
  No longer wanting to live your past life
   Hurt, pain, agony, and struggle!                
Wanting the better in life...
  More prosperous...
   Moving forth with your life...
Have Faith, Determination, and
  Motivation

You told me you loved me
  You told me you cared
  You promise you'll never hurt me..
  But instead you did...
  I cried and cried..no one was there
  No one cared
  No one cared
  You told me you were sorry and promised you'll never do it again
  I gave you a chance and yet you broke that promise again...
  I know longer believed that you even cared.
  You told me you love me but you broke your promise again and again..
  Things will never be the same..
  Let's see where this will end!
