That night I realized

by Tamara Talcott   Oct 26, 2004


The rain is coming down hard
Making a collage with the tears running down my face.
As my back presses against the cold wet cement,
The razor in my hand is dripping blood.
My thoughts swirl and crash into one another,
Creating mass confusion.
Giving me this un-proportional, image of the future.
It is dark, hazy, and empty.
I am alone
With a hate filled heart,
For hate becomes the remedy for all my problems, fears, and emotions.
Staring down at the scars penetrating the depths of my wrists.
I can count as many as the twinkling stars above me.
The haziness clears,
And reality reassures me of my unborn future.
As the blood from my wrists rolls down ans conglomerates into a watered down puddle,
I stabilize my body and clear my mind.
I realize what my own guilty pleasure will one day lead to.
I put away my razor and wipe my tears.
To come to the conclusion that what is done I can not undo,
But what is yet to happen can be reversed.

    Very good Tamara. You painta very vivid picture with your words.

    Just a few pictures we need to fix.... :)

    Line 2--I think you want "collage" (random collection, picture) not "college" (institute of higher learning)

    Line 10--last word needs to be "heart" (a "hart" is a deer)

    those are the main ones... a few of your words seem forced, like you used them just to prove you could, but this is not bad at all.

    Keep writing!
