Not Today
by ash-nite
you say, to hold on
I know, my grip is slipping
you say, it will all get better
I know, things will never change
you say, I am stronger
I know, I'm not good enough
you say, you have faith
I know, god's given up
my grip on realitie's loosening
were these voices
always in my head
did you always
yell so loud
why does
everyone hate me
Is it even
worth it
Yes
for my family
Yes
for my future
Yes
for my friends
Yes
for myself
and the life I could have
for the life I will have
step back from the ledge
set down the gun
put the knife away
breath in
breath out
i'm okay...
for today
a note: this is a poem written from a time when I was suicidal 2 years ago, when I was 13, I am not on the verge of suicide anymore so don't worry i'm ok.
