Questions

Why do I live?
Why do I want to die?
Questions in my head
All what ifs and whys
All these things
I can’t seem to comprehend
Why do I do this?
Do I have any real friends?
I cannot seem to function
I cannot seem to think
Want to stop existing
Deeper in this hole I sink
What will it be like?
If I really do it
Will anyone be sad?
How will they get through it?
No one will blink an eye
If I decide to leave
What if I died tonight?
Would anybody grieve?
Can anyone help?
What would it matter
If I killed myself?
They do not know
How I think or feel
Repeating thoughts run through my head
Like an old news reel
All these little questions
Going through my head
Am I better off alive?
Am I better off dead?

Darkstar...

I feel that life is always best...it can be hard, but life is best.
Why?

Simply: It is a gift. Though at times it is really hard to see that...

Perhaps if you are questioning this however, you could seek out some help?

As I am sure you are aware posts that glorify suicide or encourage suicide are not permissable. Your poem is more a reflection on suicide that either of the above, however your forum moderator Isis has posted an announcement that includes a refresher on this topic. It might be a good idea to read it:

Honestly Darkstar, reach out for help if you need it.

Awwwww darkstar (hugs)  I use to ask myself these questions also.  Here I am 29 and still trying to understand life and the meaning behind it.  But hey..... reach for the sparkle in the sky.  There's always more light that goes along with it.  

Peace

You can live a thousand lives, but you can die but once.  Death is a most grievous commitment, there are some in this world that fight to insure their lives and the lives of their loved ones.  But here you are, prepared to just surrender yours…Interesting, don’t you agree?  Not only grievous, but quite permanent I’m afraid.  Life sucks, on that you’ll get no argument, but it’s all we have, no second chance, no retry.  Today cannot be changed, but tomorrow is another day.  
If you want to talk, my Email addy is in my profile…

Take care,
