Raining

A razor to the wrist 
A knife in my back 
A hole in my heart 
No going back 

A shot of whiskey 
A pop of the pills 
A foggy future 
Going over these rocky hills 

A confused mother 
A hurt father 
A sex addict daughter 
Too complicated to bother 

A choice from God 
A second chance 
A suicide attempt 
It almost worked...

Its almost time to head back to the pave, after five days of mostly relaxation at room 132 *.* Anyway, it was wild poetically speaking for a day or two *.* Pounding down the brew just to get through another day in this wretched flesh that I always been....Nothing poetic, just a bag of words (*
