This one's slightly graphic and it certainly is dark.

sometimes I stand right in front of a train
I’m on the tracks
even though I know I should get off
I’ve been here before
even though I’ve been away for months
all it took was one step,
the metal beneath my feet
and my blade above them
5 months sober
laid flat on the tracks.

I've ben there. I've done that.
I beat the system. I will never go back.

Says a lot about what's going on in the poet's mind. Dark thoughts bring dark words. Working through to brighter times.

writing is often my life line as I travel through life

Never Stop Writing!
