PINS AND NEEDLES

Pins and needles start the day
If she would live, not die.
When she thinks about the pain,
She often weeps and cries.

When she's feeling guilty for
Financial costs that rise,
It causes her to contemplate
Her choice to...compromise.

If she should choose to drift away
Into the other realm,
And make it seem an accident
Her family could tell...

'Twould only take a moments' time
On mountain road terrain,
Where ice and snow could be the friends
To help them all explain.

I like the way you are sharing here in a subtle way, how the drudgery of dealing with needles every day can sometimes morph into the urge to quietly fade away & make it look like an accident. I think many people who end up with a lifelong physical problem needing daily management are likely to sometimes feel like just ending the hassles, ending the pain, ending the bother we must be to others, etc. You've brought out all the reasons why we can feel like just ending it all. But it's all done in a quiet, subtle way, not with drama, so your writing itself resembles the quiet fading away that you are suggesting would be tempting.

Thank you for your kind and generous review of this write ~Sharon
Heartfelt, breaking really, sad to know any would have to go through such things or anything that would cause them to do the same which there is so many things out there to cause. But your poem was very real!

OK !
Both of my parents had sugar diabetes, Dad gave the shots. Mom would look at us and as the needle went in she would say, "he is getting back at me for what I did in 1987, or something else funny. The sugar comas are ghastly. They both lived into their 80s, so no giving up. Valentine
