Written on the same day as the poem Penmanship, this poem really shows what a dark place I was in at the time. Sometimes I think about suicide. Unlike what most people possibly believe about suicidal ideation, there's no high drama or big emotions or anything like that. Just a calmness, as if it so totally doesn't matter whether you live or die...
I try to do more good than bad in this life. I am haunted by the people I have hurt either deliberately or inadvertently. I am haunted by all the bad things I did, the ignorant things...
Crash Rash
Sometimes I wish my plane would crash,
But that sounds really rather rash;
All these lives lost in the fall,
When all I crave is my curtain call.
Lost and lonely and afraid,
And at the edges very frayed;
This flag I fly is seldom unfurled,
This foetal position is often curled.
I think perhaps I’d like to live,
I kind of believe I’ve more to give;
I hope I’ve done more good than bad
But self-doubt keeps me deeply sad.
When I w.e.i.g.h up the bad and the good,
The scales lean bad on all I could;
I judge myself harder than all,
The architect of my inevitable fall.

I wrote this after I got my 2nd chance at this life .............
B5
Thru all my ramblings
From reincarnation to renegades
Ascension
Past lives and angels
B4 and B5
It never occurred to me
An act of omission
I guess
That right here, right now
Same issues, same dramas
Same friends and foe
Same family of origin
Was one of the options
No time to waste
Use each breath wisely
