I like this thread. Your all going to laugh at me for this but heres my choice. I suffer from manic depression and this poem can be quite helpful at times, I guess if I was going to die I'd leave it somewhere so maybe it can help someone else too:

Your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
Be on the watch.
There are ways out.
There is a light somewhere.
It may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
Be on the watch.
The gods will offer you chances.
Know them.
Take them.
You can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
Your life is your life.
Know it while you have it.
You are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.
