Suicidal Stars

When depression takes hold of my unsettled mind, the

Loneliness prevails, my dark thoughts become darker,

A heaviness weighs down on my frail shoulders, the

Pain is palpable, and tears freely flow each night.

End it all, a suicidal thought appears. The

Whispering demons making the thought seem brighter

Than it is, hiding the fact it is really the

Opposite, a call to extinguish glowing stars

That have been placed here to help lead me out of the

Darkness that surrounds me. Yet I descend deeper

Into the swirling pool of guilt, fears, and shame; the

Overwhelming feelings joined by sorrow and grief.

Drowning in despair, I cannot save myself; the

Cold hand of death approaches, drawing ever closer.

Raising a desperate cry, finding salvation is

At hand, I am rescued by a great, loving God.
