Favorite Quote:
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us<br /> -Ralph Waldo Emerson


Standing with one foot on the train platform

The other dangling ove the tracks

Scared not knowing how to deal with the storm

Broken and bruised from all the attacks

 

Across the tracks he is standing right there

Beckoning you calling you to join him

Wanting to go with him, leave the world's snare

Hopelessness bubbling over your brim

 

The train rumbles closer now is the time

About to take the step leaving your life

But you can't do it commit this soul crime

There's people to help you in all your strife

 

The train rumbles past you replace your foot

You now have hope and decide to stay put

This piece is about thinking about suicide and gaining the strength not to do it. To know there's hope and reason to go on.
