By The Grace....

I know

The name of my angels

Who saved me

During my time of despair.

When

The world was

A darker and bleaker place

Filled with shame

And despair.

Hard to believe

Seven years will pass

This July.

Since you took me

Under your wing

Before I exploded

From my pent-up anger.

Where

A knife's edge

Hovered an inch away

From my wrists.

Waiting for

Those final instructions

Offering the final solution

To my pain.

Even now

Find myself

Shivering

At this moment

.

Knowing

How close

I was

To embracing Death

With open arms.

Author's Note

On Canada Day, July 1, 2006, I outed myself, to my mom. Sadly, I must say, her reaction to the news, she has an elder daughter, instead of a son, sent me, into a suicidal depression. Only through the hard work of close friends, am I here today.

I name my angels too...A heartbreaking write, but it has to be aired. Writing is a release for us all. ...Maggie

Everytime, I see or talk to them, I give thanks to them, Maggie. Even have written poems of thanks.
