Array ( [sid] => 186179 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Reasons [time] => 2019-04-30 00:13:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => The grass is cold and damp
Against my back yet I don/'/t feel
I look at the empty blackboard sky
It has no wonder no appeal

Alone I have come to ponder
Why should I carry on
There is no one left
For me to depend upon

So I decide to take stock
On if I should live or die
By sorting out reasons
For both of these sides

On deaths side would be peace
No more pain or suffering
On life/'/s side is many
Wonders and amazing things

As I listed them one by one
I noticed stars starting to shine
The more I found to live
The warmer this heart of mine

Now this night is bright
And I understand why we/'/re here
To experience all life has to give
And hold it in our heart so dear

Nice roller coaster, here.

"There is no one left
For me to depend upon"

What has kept me here, is the opposite of what you write. It is those that depend upon me. In this fashion, I/'/ve actually come to resent the fact, so much so do contemplate the nothingness.

I don`t know for sure what will happen when I die, so yes, I am going to experience everything this life has to offer.

This is lovely. Like a butterfly coming out of the cocoon and experiencing life.
Well done!
