As the day has jest begun,
Will I stay or will I run,
Thoughts are running threw my head,
What if I ended up dead,
Shoud iI stay or shoud I go,
Feelings that I mustn't show,
Life is ticking on the clock,
Death is right around the block,
Whats the point of being here,
The answer is my greatest fear,
Will I ever find a way,
I can hope and I can pray,
Now the day is almost done,
But the pain has just begun...

I was very depressd at the time of writeing this poem. However i think it shows that if someone can feel all of that pain and still have the courage to go on with life then they can accomplish anything.
