Here, Now, Forever

i stood there in the rain, knife in hand
drunk
waiting for the cops to come
my car face down in a ditch
my friends worried about what i'd do next
i wanted to hide in the bushes
from the imminent dui charge and the time in prison
i wanted to sit there in the swamp and open arteries
i was tired of it all
and the knife was very sharp
i was willing
at that moment, i was a severely dangerous person
it was a horrifying night
yet,
by some miracle
the tow truck came before the cops ever did
pulled my broken car from the putrid waters
and took me and my drunken buddies home
one month later
my car is fixed
insurance never found out
and my life is the same it has always been
i will never drink and drive again
i learned a bitter lesson about myself
i dont deserve it,
but someone is watching out for me
someone who wants to see me succeed in life
and be happy
i dont want to die
i like living
i dont want to die just yet
thank you,

whoever you are

I'm very touched by the story you told here...yes, someone cares, besides me.  The best lessons are those learned like this one of yours.

i learned a lesson like this almost a year ago...there are guardian angels out there
and life is very precious. Don't ever think
someone doesn't care.

Before anyone can really care about you, you have to care for yourself. I haven't had a drink in over six years and don't miss it at all. I think I'm a better person for it and I know that you can be also.Life is too short to have it ruined by self ingested poison. I also know that you have become a better person because of this experience by your willingness to share it.  Thank you.

Wow!

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
