Boston

As he sat there alone

Tears pooling in his hand

A knife by his side

He grasps it in his hand

Raised to his neck

Sharp as his pain

Wanting to end it all

In that tent where he stands

Tears pouring like the rain outside

As he was pushed away

He just wants to die

Feels like the only way

But he continues to cry

Setting down the knife

Knowing what he might be in store

Leaving that feeling

For what he thought was evermore

This is about a time when I was battling suicide. I was in Boston in a tent alone and the temptation was prevalent in that moment.
