The grave is calling

The grave is calling my name

Whispering in my ear

“Come, come I’ll free you,

I’ll take away the pain.”



There are days when I listen

Then, I want to fall in death’s arms

Hoping I can end it all

The endless suffering of life



But other days I close my ears

Blocking out the voices that haunt me

Then I want to live again

And fly free and be happy



Confused I fall on my knees

I don’t know who to listen to…

What do I want?

Death or Life?



In death I can find peace

But maybe it will get worse

But what can be worse,

Then pain life brings?



I stand up and make a decision

I choose for life and try my best

Not to fall again and again

Trying to keep my peace of mind

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poem is about; there are days when death is all I can think about, because everything goes wrong. But then I keep my head high and try to survive the daily struggles of life.
