Is dying as easy as it seems? Is it as simple as pulling the trigger of a gun? As simple as pulling a blade down your wrist?
As swallowing five pills?
Suicide seems the easy option. The escape. The end to the pain.
Our life is not like a video game. If you die, you don't get to come back and take another go. Things don't just reset. One chance. And then its gone. And nothing. Literally nothing.
Heaven or hell? Paradise or eternal damnation? Why choose at all.
Why not choose to live? Why not choose to fight, and fight and fight and fight and fight until........
You could be sitting in a desolate field. 5AM. Blade in one hand. Blood trickling down the other. Your doubt, loneliness, self loathing. Manifests itself. Tortures you from the inside and out. Tells you to finish it. To extinguish the light, to let go. But, even then. Hope still remains.
One beacon of light. One centre of hope, burning In the vast emptiness of space. A supernova, a star, a planet. it may not look like, seem like much. But if you grab it, never let go, absorb it, one day. You will shine as brightly as it does.
