My Suicide Survival Date

Today marks a year

A year of life

A year of grace

A year of surviving death.

I cried uncontrollably

I asked to die

I wanted to die

So I just cried

I called for help

Ashamed

I couldn’t be talked down

I cried

And cried

And cried more

So they sent help to my door

It was angels in disguise

They were there to help me recognize

Everything is okay

I’m okay.

I’m worth living for even if I don’t have a soul to depend on

Death is not my portion

So I held on

I kept believing in me

I begin to water me

& here I stand a year later blossoming

The rose out of the concrete

Saved by grace

Carried with Gods strength

Stronger than I was a year ago today

My suicide survival date ;

Psalms 118:17 – I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
