Wow, wow, wow!!! This poem really hit me. I have been down this road before and I did it all alone. This poem showed me that I am not alone. God is able. Even though it may not seem like it, he will always be there in our corner. This poem has opened my eyes, and it's the light in my darkness. You're absolutely amazing and talented, and brave for sharing your story.

Wow your poem is amazing! That poem was literally my life! I was born into a Christian family and went down a dark road. It was God who saved me from killing myself. I read this poem word for word, and it's amazing how it outlines a lot of how I myself felt! It reminds me I'm not alone…nor the only believer who struggled with depression.

I really do hope and pray you're still faithful to the Lord even now and living each day for Him. You're a very talented writer, and I know God will and has used your writing ability for His good. :)

I'm turning 13 this year , I have something in common I have always thought about committing suicide just that I was afraid it will hurt,and I'm afraid I'd hurt my family or my families reputation.

I am an African American female 15. That isn't the only thing we have in common when I was about 12 or 13 I too tried to commit suicide. I was really blessed by your poem. I've been trying to write about my attempt since I started writing(Something else we have in common) Thank you so much continue to allow God to use you.

You do not know how much this has touched me! I'll be praying for you because I know god has amazing plans for your life. There has been times I have thought of suicide always knowing its not the right answer but I have never gone through a difficult situation like yours and I'm so happy to see you were saved by our Father in heaven.

I started to kill myself when I started 8th grade. I felt like no one cared that I was even alive. My parents worked from 8 am to 5 pm 5 days a week. So I come home to an empty house. I took a bath in very hot water and used a razor to cut myself all over my body, and I took a handful of pills. When my parents found me I was almost in heaven. After that I did try to kill myself like 9 more times. I think that it will be a lifetime struggle for me not to kill myself. I need to pray to God more often and let someone know when I am having a bad day and talk it out with them.

I hear you and I am with you. When my friend tried to commit suicide the first time, I felt like it was all my fault. She says not to worry, that she's doing the right thing, but each time she tries I feel like a part of me is being ripped apart. I have once tried to end my life and I have regretted doing it. We are all young and we don't know the full meaning of life yet. Keep praying to God and you will feel better.

This was absolutely beautiful and so very heartfelt....emotional. I've been where you've been. Not many understand, I'm glad you found the new you and I pray you continue to write. Your words are intense but from the soul. Stunning work!

I also felt the same way after my best friend killed herself. I got all the support I wanted from home but I felt like she took a part of me with her. I use to have voices inside my head the devil made me believe I am nothing I tried killing myself more than twice, I even started eating my own flesh. But living god took away all my sufferings. I no longer have suicidal thoughts. God loves us all

When I was born I was born with a large kidney my mom smoked all the time she was never there for me so I was always with my step-dad and since we where always alone he had sexually abused me. But my mom had denied it all she's still living with him and gave up all right's of me. And so that made me have lots of emotions so now I live with my grandparents they have taught me that hope is always out there!!

It was very moving and sad. I too have felt these emotions for different reasons but same outcome. Suicide is a mortal sin, the one the God I believe in does not forgive, for this reason and this alone, I have to leave the time of my death to the Lord for I hope and pray that I will be able to once again see my beloved papa who has been gone for so so long. I love you pa and miss you something awful.

This poem has touched me immensely, I have also felt like just running into a speeding car so that I can end my life. There were times that I felt I am living a lie. Because everything I dreamt of becoming didn't come true and even the little things I yearned for never came to pass. I felt like I was under an evil spell and there was no way out because nobody cared. I was all alone and did not know where to go.
I could not pray because I stopped having faith in God

This Has touched me. I have felt like that for a long time but I never had the courage to kill myself. But now I look to god and I express myself through poems. I really like your poem. It's very good.

very touching, I pray that you are at peace and no longer want to commit suicide. I have been through 2 suicide in the past 17 years. the first was my Father in 94, the second was my older Brother in 08. I don't care how bad things seem If you take your own life then the heartache and depression you leave behind for those that love you is a burden that makes the problem you had seem like a scratched. It took me years to get to where I could function daily and be productive for my family, after my fathers death. Then when my brother died it all came back 10 times fold. so Please always remember that people love you and need you to live

What you wrote took guts to share. I believe what you wrote, and I hope you never loose sight of those last few lines.

I love your poem, its how I used to feel and still kind of do, but stay strong. God never gives you more than you can handle and will always be there!

That is beautiful!

I share your faith, but I've never had it rough. I wonder if I had big problems if I'd be strong enough.
My life's been pretty easy, I've never felt the pain you do. I want you to know I'll be praying to God for you.
I know life is tough, but I believe what you believe, that God is a helper who will never ever leave.

From Ophelia Age 15 (I hope this gets used. Sure, I shared my faith, but it's a free country.)
