Divine
To live or die by thine own hands is divine
Of course, to live would be the best wine
To die is an everlasting battle waged in the mind
A war between living and dying is not sublime
To choose between the two is far too great
For living is a choice that many take
To do the things that make life enticing
Because living is what is inviting
To die is an easy way out of the hardships
Easily done if wanted for my own selfishness
Carelessness of my own ideas and other's care
Make the suicidal one beware
'Tis not worth the agony and despair
For the ones who tend to care
Let it be and fight to live right
For surely dying is not worth the fight

Elisabeth Stover 1995
