I look at a picture of myself.
Only 2 years old.
The smile forced.
My eyes dull.
Nobody knew.
2 years of growth.
I look in the mirror.
A confidence came back.
My smile bright.
Eyes full of life.
I look at the photo.
I threw it in a shoe box.
Farewell to that old me.

They tell their stories.
Someone stops & listens they light up.
How lonely they must be.
A lifetime of stories.
Lost on the young minds they tell.
A lifetime of hopes, dreams, loves, & loss.
Stories that make their life; told to strangers.
How lonely they must be.

The blade slide through the skin like butter.
A sense of satisfaction.
The blood flowed.
Blood stopped.
Heart not beating.
Heart in my hand.
A cut.
A stitch.
No longer in my hand.
Beating softly.
Closing of the ribs.
Closing skin.
Another saved.
Satisfaction achieved.

What is the meaning of life?
How does one answer that?
Go though the existenial crisis?
Is it all real?
Trapped in a nightmare?
A dream?
Happening in a blink of an eye at death?
Too caught up with the question.
We miss the answer.
The meaning of life is to live…

A moment of pleasure.
A moment of peace.
A moment of happiness.
One more moment.
That is all that they wanted.
All that they needed.
Small moments of time.
Life is made of small moments.
And sometimes the most mundane moment…
Becomes the most treasured in the end.

Darkness Seeps Into My Soul,
Afraid I Will Never Achieve My Goal.
My Tears Salt The Ground Below,
I Go With The Flow.
Light Flows Through A Pinhole,
I Work Hard To Play My Role.
But I Don’t Want To Be A Jane Doe,
But How Do I Let My Fears Go?
Doubt seeped into my soul.

My past is but an echo in the back of my mind.
Influencing upon my present.
Guiding me to my future.
I can’t escape my past.
But I can learn from it.
And allow that knowledge to lead me into the dawn of a better life.
My past is but an echo in the back of my mind.
