[hometext] => I wrote this for a friend and it's not like anything I've written before(It actually has a happy ending) and it's free verse.
[bodytext] => There's a dagger Three feet away from me. I reach for it, I see it getting closer to me Or I am getting closer to it. Suddenly it goes away and I still see it in the distance. I want it. I run towards it, I run as fast as I can and I reach for it the second time. I grab it. I look at it and I don't know why I took it. I look at it again and try to feel it. It's cold. It's colder than a winter's night. My hand freezes on it's hilt. It turns red hot and My hands have blisters now. It is red hot and I press it against my wrists. Why? I do not know But the blade resists my will. It will not cut. It will NOT cut. It vanishes from my hand. I spend hours looking in vain With my cold eyes. I see a gun. It's black. It's right in my hand. I look at it , I point it at my head. But what am I doing? Why am I doing this? Is it because of my world? Is it because of my fears?My sins? What's driving me to this? Is it a demonic power? Is it divine intervention? As I asked my questions And no one answered I pulled the trigger. Nothing happened.I wonder why. Perhaps I'm not to die yet, Perhaps there's something Keeping me on this world. Is it God? Is it the Devil? Or is it life itself That keeps Death away from me? Who knows? I do not know. Or perhaps there's someone I need to live for , Or perhaps there are others Doing the same thing as me And succeeding And I was chosen to fail. Either way , now That I'm awake from this Weird dream, I'm happy , I'm happy that I have Someone to live for.
