Not The Way Out

Folder: 
death/depression

sitting here with a bottle of pills in my hand

thinking of all the pain and heartache in my life

thinking this is the situation to end all my pain

then it hits me

this is stupid

the cowards way out

I realize how much I would be missed

how much I would hurt

I am going to find other ways

of dealing with this pain

but pills are not the way out

and I learned that the hard way

taking one's own life

is not a cure for pain

but only causes more
