When
I tried
To end it
I tied the knot
And prayed id make it
I bound my hands
Stepped on the log , my brain no longer filled with fog.
I looked up high and slid off,
The knot tightened ; I was happy it worked.
For a moment it was peaceful , until face first in dirt .
The sturdy branch I swung soon snapped at the base.
Twisted humour or a splash of fate .
I can't help but wish It didn't go that way.
The feeling was so peaceful , and I can't shake that thought away .
Ten years since that day I can't say things are better .
But I have a little brother now and for him I'll let rope tether, snap and rot way . I'll hide my thoughts , exclude my pain.
He is the light that saved my way
