The Day I Quit

by Casey   Apr 17, 2005


There was no music
Time did not slow down
The sun didn't shine through the clouds
Like it does in the movies.

The sky shone gray
Through a dark green canopy
The clay beneath my feet
Was red and slick with rain.

The steel felt cold and raw
Between my fumbling fingers
I drew my arm back
Then let it fall.

It took all I had
To just let it go
And just watch it sail away
Into the canyon below.

I officially quit cutting today. I havent cut in a couple of months but I got rid of my blade today. I threw it into the woods, its too easy to dig something up out of the trash.
