Edited Version (Original at the bottom)
a Question
for all who are Questioning
Life,
planning to end it All
by the blade of a knife.
is it the Darkness
that allures You?
Knowing
that Your Fire is out,
and Your Pleasures are Few?
Devastating
the lives of those
who hold You
close,
while Your body hangs, Morbidly,
from the rotting post.
yeah i know people like You,
Selfish
and Ignorant.
while You
take the easy way,
We, deal with the torment.
i hope You're happy,wherever
You go.
while You
rest peacefully, We're
left with our heads bowed low.
maybe it's a lack of Purpose?
You
think You
need a Fate that's divine?
a Faithless man lives complacent,
You want a Meaning,like mine?
You find Meaning
when there Is none
to see.
You don't
need Intervention
to Live, Happy
and Free.
there's Nothing
in Death you'll find
that You
can't find Here,
when You
start to take Action,
and Ignore,your Fear.
the trick to Living
Life
is to do Nothing more
than Live.
forget about what You
can Take,
only Focus on the things You
can Give.
when Life favors those
who Look Ahead,
is it better
to end it All now?
or Live
for those
who Love You
instead?

A question for all who are questioning life,
Planning to end it all by the blade of a knife.
Is it the darkness that allures you?
Knowing that your fire is out, and your pleasures are few?
Devastating the lives of those who hold you close,
While your body hangs morbidly from the rotting post.
Yeah I know people like you, selfish, and ignorant.
While you take the easy way, we deal with the torment.
I hope you're happy wherever you go.
While you rest peacefully, we're left with our heads bowed low.
Maybe it's a lack of purpose? You think you need a fate that's divine?
A faithless man lives complacent; you want a meaning like mine?
You find meaning when there is none to see.
You don't need intervention to live happy and free.
There’s nothing in death you'll find that you can't find here,
When you start to take action, and ignore your fear.
The trick to living life is to do nothing more than live.
Forget about what you can take, only focus on the things you can give.
When life favors those who look ahead,
Is it better to end it all now; or live for those who love you instead?
