I know what it feels like
to want to slip away,
but I also know of the paralyzing fear
someone gets as it starts to happen.
I know what it feels like
to only wish to stand
on the edge of a hole,
dug deep- six feet.
This life, this world
tears you to shreds
one day at a time.
Pick up those fragments.
Don't let them bury you, too.
