Cogs and Pulleys
I wouldn’t
Have done it
For myself.
I couldn’t
Back out from
This hell.
You wouldn’t
Have left me
Like this.
You couldn’t
Go on in
Fake bliss.
The pills wouldn’t
Improve life
One bit.
The knives couldn’t
Save me from
This pit.
I told you
To do what
You wanted.
You ended
A life that
Was haunted.
I didn’t
Know I could
Be free.
I don’t know
What you saw
In me.
You showed me
That I can
Be clean.
You helped me
To break the
Machine.
