Blades begon
February 22, 2017
Glinting and gleaming
They sat in the garbage
The bright silver blade
Looked back at him
Menacingly it called his name
He tore his eyes away
He knew it would bring him more pain
He was done.
1 hour clean
The rest of his life to go
He wanted to start knew
And this is what he had to do
He felt happy
Calm
Ready
He knew he could do this
And he had people who could help him threw
He tied of the garbage bag
And out it went
Away to some landfill
Never to be seen again
He took one deep breath
And smiled at himself
He was going to be okay.
