No Second Chance

No Second Chance

No second chance once you’re dead.

Perhaps it’s an eternity of all 

that you dread. 

Maybe there will be no peace 

when you cause your life to cease.

The end could be the beginning of 

never ending horror.

It could be everlasting anguish 

and screams of terror.

Anger could be the driving force behind the planning 

of a suicidal course.

Consider this.

Over whelming rage will never become bliss.

It might lead to the bowels of hell’s abyss.

Isolation in total despair without hope,

comfort or merciful prayer.

Suicide might possibly lead 

to the permanent banishment of heaven

even if heaven and hell is 

something you don’t believe in.

No matter how bad you think things are

death is not the cure for your

internal raging anger. 

Image timeless suffering that was induced 

by your own hand.

Death might not be the end on which you planned.

It could be the beginning of something much worse.

It could be the start of peace in reverse. 

Hang on to any thread of hope.

Don’t slide down a self pitting slope. 

The gift of life is worth having.

It’s potential is at hand for grasping.

Make something of your life.

Don’t drown in self pity and strife. 

Life is what you make of it not

something you deliberately quit.

Concentrate on the good and

your life will be as it should.

Your poem goes deep, rings with hard-won truth and wisdom and lifts my soul -- and I daresay anyone who has ever struggled with the darkness. Great work!
