Before and After

Before and after
thoughts
of suicide
note
to self
worth
a thousand words
in my head
in my hands
covered in blood
from a stone
-faced killer
headache
pills
in my mouth
on the bottle
up my feelings
of guilt
trip
to the hospital
food
in the trash
my room
to breathe
deep
, deep down
on my knees
to my chest
pushed out
of the hole
in my heart
beating faster
than light
my way
to go!
it alone
at last
man standing
over the brink
of war
and peace
of mind
the gap
in my knowledge
versus wisdom
of the world
famous
for a day
-dreaming boy
, am I tired.

The mechanic at work here was fun to play with, though the poem is rather dark. I was inspired by a recent events in my life.
