Escape The Desire To Die Poem by Alison Smith

Woke up this morning
I was full of despair
Not sure I want to go on.
But then another voice beckons me on...
Come on escape the desire to die.

Fight the desire day to day
Continually wonder why
Why I should continue?
What is out there for me?
How can I escape the desire to die?

Took a look at the sky
Slept beneath a tree
Watched the child at play
Felt water flow at my feet.
Worth on more look before I die.

Yes the desire to die is strong
Everyday I search and find a reason
To escape that desire for one more day
To face life with some joy.

Do you fight the desire
Then don't be afraid
You are not alone in the fight
Its a daily battle
But worth the fight to escape for one more day.

Yes fight the desire
Know your wanted
Believe you can make a change
Don't let the desire control you
Escape the desire to die.
