The bullets in the chamber - the guns to my head
The question is am I already dead
My life\'s already over , so I say
I can\'t bear the thought of another day
The demons inside, they eat at my core
I don\'t know if I can take this any more
I try not to think of others, the grief they\'ll feel
I\'m just not thinking right, it doesn\'t seem real
My brain tells me to end it, it\'s time to go
But my heart and soul cry out a thunderous \"NO\"
I put my finger on the trigger strengthen my resolve
But my heart asks \"What will this solve?\"
Conflicting emotions within my head
What\'s to be accomplished by me being dead
The thing about hope is that it is always there
You just have to search for it, for a reason to care
The darkness cries out in all of its fury
Times running out, you must hurry
But the lights not gone it\'s still in sight
Showing that life is the choice that is truly right
The fight was fierce, but the battles won
The bullets in the chamber - but I put down the gun
Again, written during a manic-depressive episode...

I'm glad that the bullet remained in the chamber. I've known utter despair in several of my good friends, and luckily they're all still here. Like the diction and how the mind fights the soul. Great poem!
