Member Poem

At my lowest
Alive but alone
Waiting for death
Eyes  closed
Placed the barrel to my head
Paused for a moment
Just a moment
Felt a tap on my shoulder
I slowly opened my eyes
Blinked because there was still darkness
But slowly I began to see the stars
Each shining so bright
They pulled me through the darkest night
Night after night
Finally just as suddenly
As an eclipse
The Sun began to shine
My days are always filled with brightness now
The night still falls
But I'm going to see the stars
Eventually each night
It might take time for each cloud to pass
But I know they will
I know my life
Is a life worth living.
