Scraping and Digging

I’d like to get a handle
On this door to my demise
And to step across that threshold
And to find to my surprise
That there is no lasting comfort
In the skin that I am in
And to be so self-inflicted
Seems the ultimate of sins.

This is amazing. My core trembles at how much this relates!

Thanks, really. That poem was not so much written as it just happened.

Sometimes those are the best types of poems!!

Words that are spoken direct from the heart, not thought about!
