What I was and who I am are both of the same face,
But are two different people moving at a separate pace.
My body walks forward, but my mind pulls me back,
Looking at my reflection, I see nothing but the past.
Eyes closed, recalling back to the day I witnessed,
My life nearly ended; I thought I was finished.
Never thought I'd come so close without a chance to say good-bye;
Never thought I'd see tomorrow, I wasn't ready to die.
I couldn't keep up; everything was moving too fast.
Reality hit when I realized that it could be my last.
As I felt the metal gun held up against my head,
I saw visions of myself lying on the floor dead.
Flashbacks came rushing, no one could understand,
The memories that I saw before this whole Game began.
My heart raced, breath caught to a sudden haste,
I knew I was better than the person I faced.
My body went numb; my mind in a trance;
Prayed for my life, if I was given another chance.
I would never make the same mistake,
I will become stronger with every step I take.
I knew the souls from above was watching me,
And was disappointed by the reality.
The person I was before still lives within,
I knew could start over from this life of sin.
I opened my eyes and saw my reflection,
No longer the girl of my past that had chosen the wrong direction.
But a women who had taken her second opportunity to change her life around,
Who used her weakness as her strength to hold her ground.
Everybody has to die someday, but I wasn't done
Living the life that had only begun...

BennyOs: All in all, our existance has no cosmic meaning, someomes death might perhaps have some sort of impact on our civilization later on, but when your dead you dont have to worry about society or there problems. Our existance wont even have an impact on a cosmic scale. The unversise will still exist long after were gone having no effect from our extinction. I know im being sinicle, But If you look at it from the universe's point of view its exactly what it looks like. Although if you want to kill yourself go ahead, youll keep yourself from living the life you want to live, things you possibly could do, and if you dont have any dreams or goals by the time your out of high school. Then you better hurry the **** up about what you want to do with your life or else it will fade away and no one will remember you, no one will miss you. You will be forgotten as your friends move on with there separate lives after your dead and gone, your corpse rotting in your grave.
