Pointed to head Russian roulette Imaginary bullets To hell But life is more Than that Searching voids Of excruciating pain Sick cylinders Of giving up Keep recycling In clicking sounds This gun does not Shoot projectiles But blanks That penetrates feelings Scars building up To blood letting Draining self esteem Into cold steel Gun of death Chilling truth Of no return Frozen in time The hand of fate In your inner faith That does not trigger The total end Thought: In my depression, a bullet will never end it. For when everything is lost, I can still find hope. I believe I am in a living hell, trying to find a little bit of heaven.

This is very much different from the last several of your poems. I hope if you are writing about yourself that you find peace. With Warm Regards, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. "Desiderata" [This message has been edited by regards2you (11-14-2002 01:00 AM).] |
