At what point do you decide to live?
To kiss away the knife of your mind
As it bleeds into your core
Cleaving your sanity
At what point do you breathe?
To inhale your heartbeat
So as to remind you
There’s air in this world
At what point do you hope?
To cross one star to another, amongst a sea of black
Knowing that what’s dark
Will only help stir the brightest of lights
At what point do you value?
To be indebted to the ground that you were raised
And walk its path
With a rightful stride
At what point do you concede?
To let these words pry their way in
Nestling with you
Rousing your conscience

This really brings back memories of my own horrid bout of depression, and the one that's been on the horizon for some time now.
It's a very poignant piece of writing, and I hope you continue to express yourself in such a way.
