Glad I Didn't Die

I am so glad that I didn’t die,
Glad that I didn’t say my final goodbye,
I was brought back from the brink of death,
When doctors didn’t think I had any fight left.
But I didn’t die on that fateful day,
I lived on so in life I could make my way,
If I’d have died I wouldn’t know Mark,
I would never have found my way out of the dark.
I would never have found my gift of writing,
I am proud that I carried on fighting,
I am especially glad that I have met all of you,
Never is there more a word spoken so true.
I can’t believe I tried to end my young life,
I was so close to becoming death's wife.
How selfish could one person possibly be?
I wasn’t thinking about my friends or family, but me.
They would have been left behind with such grief,
Never knowing how to find their relief,
I remember the night I took the pills,
I was feeling so very unstable, desperate & ill.
My thoughts were like a very muddy pool,
Behind my decision was the deadliest of fuel,
Alcohol & depression a cocktail I’d mixed,
Now thoughts were on death, these thoughts were fixed.
But here I am 3 years later still battling on,
Even though my depression hasn’t long gone,
I am fighting out of sheer determination,
On my soul suicide left no desecration.

Sweet pixie,
I am glad you didn't die too. What a waste of such a sweet
and passionate mind.
"I would never have found my gift of writing,
I am proud that I carried on fighting"
I am proud of you too!!!! Keep on keeping on girl!
Great poem!

Pixie, I like this very much. The only "constructive criticism" I can offer is that you need a period after "death's wife," instead of a comma. Oh yeah, and an apostrophe on "death's." Punctuation being the only thing, but only since you asked. :-)
Cheers! |

Keep fighting and I see so much positivity in this poem. You have courage to face your feelings and you pen them exquisitely.
Very high praise for this one Pixie.

It took a very strong person to write this poem. You have a right to be proud of yourself... "You go girl!"
