I reach deep into my pocket
and finger the silver metal tipped blade
Lying in the depths of the stitch
Knowing it holds my future within

I pull it out and examine it now
Gleaming in the light
Shimmering in the dark
All the while bringing it closer

I look at it now with a faint curiosity
and wonder
What would happen to me?
Could I bring myself to complete the task?

Dreadful as it may seem,
this is just another failed attempt
Just another example of my damaged life
that will happen over and over again

And for now,
I'll keep that silver metal blade
In the bottom of my pocket
Until it's time comes again
