Coin Toss

I breathe and yet I'm still suffocating.

The pain of life is a crushing weight.

Is death the only way to release my pain?

Then why do I continue with this life?

With only pin pricks of happiness is it all worth it?

My conscience tells me to go on.

Her voice is a beacon that pierces through the darkness.

She stands there with the coin that will decide my life or my death.

How will it land today?

I might be here tell you tomorrow…
