Just a Thought...

Yeah – I thought about it I Looked at all those pills in their precise, pristine, plastic bottle & yeah, I thought about it I looked at the shimmering, silky, shining straight-edge razor and I thought about it I looked at my wrists and yeah, I thought about it! ~~~ I thought about it & then I cradled the silent silver seductive steel barrel of the firearm in my hand And boy howdy did I think about it ~~~ But, now all in all, now, just as always, it was (l)on(e)ly and simply a thought

Very clever especially the last use of only/lonely and it is surely an individual journey but it helps to believe it all might (LOL) mean something ... if I only knew FOR SURE ... so obviously your write here has set me to thinking and its a very well-deserved piece to be featured this week here at the Soup! Congratulations Rebecca.

I'm amazed at the depth you accomplished with two letters perfectly arranged. I think the indirect approach is what gives this piece it's true power.

Powerful, and scary...but quite often too real! Hopefully those thought have come and gone. Congratulations on this thought provoking poem being among the featured works this week. ~ Carrie
