KNIFE
The knife is out
waiting
waiting
waiting
to feel my skin
it needs to cut
to make me feel
and release my
pain
pain
pain
The knife is there
smiling
at me
waiting
and willing
to be used
it needs to feel
warm
red blood
flow
flow
flow
The blade is red
as blood drips
away
away
away
from the cuts
there
on my arms
Pain released
the blade
lies still
smiling
smiling
smiling
its will
was done
head hung in shame
as i watch it flow
and wonder why
i feel
guilt
guilt

I am so sorry as I read this. I can not imagine where you are in your world, what life is like for you. I know you must be very unhappy and I wish you comfort right now. I wish I could reach you. I just cannot relate and the thought of what you do just does not make any sense to me. I hope you find someone who can help you. Try to love and appreciate yourself. Think about tomorrow and where you might find yourself in 15 years, what will you want to share with your children, how would you want them to live?? I wish you well . I wish you peace.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
