Perfect...

by Some Random Human   Jun 6, 2006


I have my problems, and so do you,
we all will screw up, in the things we do,
but that does not mean, that we should die,
just because we have no wings, doesn't mean that we can't fly,

How could you do it, take your life away,
what could have made you, not want to stay,
I know it's hard sometimes, to carry on,
but that does not mean, you should be gone,

Just think of all the people, whom you will hurt,
if you take your life, and put it in the dirt,
the next time life gets hard, just try to think,
think of all the people, who are on the brink,

There are other people, just like you,
who have their problems, yeah I do too,
you just have to take them, all in strife,
'cause there is a reason, to live this life,

No matter how hard things may seem, they could be worse,
why do you blame God, for your own curse,
you say that you've done nothing, to deserve,
the things that go wrong, how did you get the nerve,

We never reap exactly, what we have sown,
'cause we get His mercy, see you're not alone,
so just dry your eyes, and lift up your head,
and see that you're alive, and not dead,

I hope that you understand, what I'm trying to say,
I hope you see your reason, to live another day,
can't you see now, that you just can't take your life,
can't you see now, that you should put down that knife,
can't you see now, that this isn't all just strife,
can't you see now, that you have blessings in great rife,

So just go on, and keep livin',
do not worry, you're forgiven,
and it's OK, if you fall,
God will help you up, He'll hear your call,
'cause He loves you, and you need Him,
you can turn to God, whenever things get grim,
and He'll save you, and He'll heal you,
and you'll love Him, like you should do,

Well, I must go now, but I hope you see,
that you have a reason, just like me,
won't you look up, won't you pray,
and won't you hold on, for another day,
'cause we're not perfect, but we don't need to be,
we can't be perfect, but we can be free,
if you just trust Him now, with all of your heart,
He will set you free, and your true life can start...

    "There are other people, just like you,
    who have their problems, yeah I do too,
    you just have to take them, all in strife,
    'cause there is a reason, to live this life,"

    - So very true. I find it a real bother, having to deal with so many `individuals` who can't take anymore of what life has to offer them. I mean, life can be tough and perhaps terrifying- yet, why not try and look at the bright side it? It may not be sunflowers and blue skies all the way either- but eternal love does exist, whether it’s from a close one or God.

    Like Jennifer said, "I never got why people thought dying was a way out. Because you hurt others by doing so." Relatively, where are they sending themselves? Did THAT ever occur to you?!

    Anywho, it's a question of trying. Persevering. Knowing that you WILL survive.

    For those who may be on the `brink`- read this poem carefully, and think. Just before you do anything that may change your life or anyone else’s for the worse- just think.

    An excellent and inspiring piece, Jeff. The flow was constant with a beautiful message. Well done ;)
