Full Knowledge
I need to find some where to de-stress , to hide
Before I break, and leave this side
I feel the noose, it's lowering
I see the shadows it's throwing
Images of things to come
When finally pushed beyond, and I succumb
A few more inches
Skin slightly flinches
Soon to be around my neck
Doesn't matter, we're but specks
Why continue to balance on the razor edge
When you have full knowledge
Tomorrow will be no better than today
And today was worse than yesterday

I've been down that road and you express it well in this poem. Cut through the threads of the noose that represents the guilt you can't overcome. If something is imprisoning you, break free, let go of the rope and take a leap of faith that life will be worth living!

Thank you very much, in a live full of tragedy I'm trying to deal with the worst one by far the death of a soul-friend and roommate that died in my arms two months ago.

Death is so hard to come to terms with. So many questions and the reality that one day it will come for you, leaving others with the questions. I only hope there is someone to think of me after I am gone... jj

I will welcome death on the day it comes. I'm just missing him so much he knew me better than I know myself. And he was the first person in my life that ever chose to love me.
