The Easy Way Out

Zenovia B.
I woke up thinking, there's no way out 'cause I had searched to and fro.
Death I felt was the only answer that all my mind did know.

To go to sleep forever, just leave the problems behind.
Not thinking about who'd be left, or the one my body to find.

"Life is too hard" I said. I no longer wanted to try.
I'll just give into my self pity, give up, lay down and die.

I then remembered my children, how I struggled to give them life.
I owe it to all people who love me, to face up to the strife.

I want my life, I like myself, I started to yell and shout.
It takes more courage to want to stay, than to take the easy way out.
