Second Chance

by Crippled Wing   Feb 19, 2009


Darkened soul no place to go
It's hard to believe I was happy not too long ago
A hand full of pills seems to be the only way
...It would be silly for me to stay

I sit and wait
For my deadly fate
Every thing's now turning black
...I know there's no way back
My limbs are soaked with blood and shaking
While my heart is quivering and aching

Breathing hard knowing it may be my last breath
Trying not to think of my own death
Uncontrollable shaking I know it's coming soon
Distract myself by looking at the frozen moon
Slowly I drifted off into the cold
Losing my life that I was trying to hold

I awoke two hours later wondering if I was a ghost
All because I over dosed
Steam from my breath was still on the window of the car
I knew now I got a second chance since I made it this far

I still couldn't feel my legs and my head was spinning
But I knew if I'd let go now the demons would be winning
Guilt set in and hurt me deeply
knowing I tried to toss my life so cheaply
But here I am alive to write this poem
A second chance to change who I become
