~*Second Chance*~

Sometimes when I cry,
I just want to die.
But it'll all end,
They'll be sorry then.

I thought I'd be okay,
But just the next day,
Fate had had its way,
I would'nt be okay.

I had the pills lined up,
And water in my cup.
"There's only 50", I said.
Not too long, and I'll be dead.

I swallowed them one by one,
It would'nt be long before I was done.
Thinking about my childhood,
I cried as hard as I could.

Half an hour went by,
I said to myself, oh my.
My eyelids, heavy as lead,
When they closed, I lay dead.

A light is what I saw,
I stared at it with awe.
The angel was all I could see,
There she was, in front of me.

"It's not your time ",she said.
I really thought I was dead.
"You must go back ",she replied.
I remember that moment, when I cried.

I woke up dazed and confused,
But checked to see if I was bruised.
"Your stomach was pumped ",my mother said.
"I almost thought you were dead".

Since then, I learned how much life is worth,
Since I saw my cousin's birth.
That's why I treasure everyday.
