Do I Want to Die
Do i want to die
 Sometimes, yes
 In those moments when i wish i was anyone
 but me
 On those days when my words get jumbled and my face gets twisted and i just cant seem to 
 get it right
 In those times when everything makes me cry
 and my stomach hurts and i seems like no one
 is on my side
 In those seconds that turn into hours when i feel
 the burden of being so small in a world that is so big
 Do i want to die? 
 sometimes, yes
 When i hear the tick of the clock and watch as time goes by
 finally realizing that with each passing second i and growing older and there is no way to escape what
 lies ahead
 When Monday turns into Friday in a blink of an eye and 
 I begin to understand that i just wasted another week of my life sitting, in a chair, pretending
 to be interested in something that i am not
 When i know that i could be anywhere, doing anything
 Do i want to die???
 Sometimes, yes
 When i carry the judgement, the pain, and the responsibility on my shoulders and it feels as if gravity itself doesn't want me to get out of bed in the morning
 When I think of the people i've lost and how easy it would be to leave this behind and find them again
 When i truly believe that i won't be missed
 DO I WANT TO DIE?
 No.
 Because, sometimes, i like being me
 Because I know that for every time i get it wrong
 I'll do it right
 Because i laugh WAY more than i cry and because
 sometimes its okay if no one is on your side 
 Do I want to die?
 No. 
 Because Its Me vs. The World
 Because I've got a long life ahead of me and i can't wait to see what happens next
 because with age comes experience, and with experience comes knowledge, and with knowledge comes wisdom which is the definition of MY NAME
 Do I WANT to die?
 no.
 Because when the sun is up and shining,
 I want to be too
 Because i want to be able to say
 I MADE IT
 And then let the hardships of my life get a good look at my back side as i turn around and walk the other way
 Because i know that there is at least ONE person in this world who i want to live for and that person is ME
 DO i want to die?
 NO.
 Because I've never been good at grammar rules and i hate those marks called periods
 Because periods mean THE END and i refuse to let this blessing called life be cut of by a tiny black dot on my paper
 because for MY LIFE, a semicolon still isn't enough
 See, instead of one period, i want three
 because in THIS moment,
 I choose to  CONTINUE with an ellipse
