Sometimes life just gets you down, going to sleep and waking up and everything in between is consumed with the single thought, “I just want to end it all.” It isn’t the thought of suicide that appeals to the mind, life or death – neither matters, nothing matters when you’re tired of life, when you’ve…
Eight eyes staring at me from ten inches above the ground, Blue eyes, green eyes, brown eyes – Waiting for me to break down, waiting for my soul to die so they will have something to eat. Overhead, a cardinal sings, long, loud, a pretty song… When I float by it takes to wing. Eight…
