No Replay Button!

She sat their on the stairs

with a knife upon her wrist

Should she,  could she,  would she,

did she. Please god Help?

Thoughts whirling around in her head

Death is beckoning. Calling her name.

She tries not to listen. She tries so hard

to shut them down. But the force of the badness,

the darkness she feel. All consuming. Taking her

soul.

is shouting so loud. Do it! Do it! now

cut yourself!

Death is just a fleeting moment to us all.

Death at a slip of a knife.

Brutal, blunt. harsh and sick.

Death is bitter. Death has no return or

rewind button to replay.

Death is the end.

So try to stop. Try to take hold.

Try so hard with all your might.

How you are feeling. Is just a

moment in time. Let the feelings

go. And put down the knife.

Wow Dee, what a powerful write! Life can seem hopeless and the thought of giving up is very strong sometimes. You are so right though. Feelings come and go but death truly does not have a rewind button.
You have summed it up beautifully in the last verse. So very well put.
Thank you for writing and sharing these important words my friend.
Great write!

Effie it has to be said. Like you said. Its very important no one feels alone. Or thinks no one can relate as they can and do. This world is cruel. And lonely at times. And people suffer in silence.

I can very well relate myself to the one in your writing...And you are right in saying that there is no replay button..Many times in our life we feel that death is the only alternative left before us but that is absolutely wrong..Escaping can never be solution to a problem..Even I have felt so many times but it is important to control your feelings at that time...I loved the way you expressed it and the title was the best..
Keep on writing..
