We Are Not to Decide

Who am I to choose,
what others should have to lose?
To walk away from hopes and dreams,
just to escape the pain.

Who am I to say
"today is my last day"?
To never smile and never laugh,
but also never cry.

Who am I to take the place
of the One who flung stars into space,
the One who loves me as a child?
just because I feel sad.

I am not the one,
the battle has already been won.
I am given life through Him,
and I will give my life back.


Inspired by an attempted suicide.
