I Hold This Razor

I hold this razor..
contemplating this decision..
Do I make the final swipe..
Just one long incision.
than I can lock my door..
go to sleep..
never wake..
pray to God my soul
to take
I look at my arms..
I see scars from years gone by..
Do I really want to
remake mistakes..
Take my life..
no matter whose heart I break?
God, I hate this..
What have you done?
I want desperately to go
into eternal sleep..
But I cannot do this..
Knowing my sons would
feel the guilt and weep..
I am trapped here!
Once again
Perhaps the next time
the razor will win.

Erica, I guess what I have told you in my comments means nothing to you. You are determined to take this destructive process
and and let it rob your world of all color.
How tragic your view of yourself and your life. How can I keep pleaing for the impossible to happen? Bill Murray

Mariard Volume 1 The gifting by Christine Jones

Born of their seeds, kingdom will rise against kingdom, one will hold great mysteries, one will turn the tide and one will not be bound. War is fought, not only on the field but also within the mind. Nothing is what it seems take nothing for granted.

Chronicles of Henry Roach-Dairier: The Inception of the Combined Colon by Deborah Frontiera

This is the long-awaited 4th book of The Chronicles of Henry Roach-Dairier, a future world without people. Think Planet of the Ants, not Planet of the Apes, for young adults and adults.
