Art & Poetry
Written By Telle Wild Rose

I Want to live,

But I keep reaching for the wrong blade,

One day it will catch up with me.

Would you believe me if I said im trying?

The Sword of the Spirit is the living Word,

Cutting soul and spirit asunder.

The knife of the fleshly desires is a razor blade,

And she isnt very nice, cutting through blood n bone, leaving me hallow.

Bled dry and left out to die,

Infection sets in, and the pain has just begun.

We've been here before,

From the beginning of this wretched thing called life.

I want to live,

But I keep reaching for the wrong blade,

One day it will catch up with me.

Would you believe me if I said im trying?
