When all hope is gone

You standing on a chair feeling rope burn,

Then hands from nowhere reach for you in tears

A Childs' face flashes you step down from the chair only to say I can't go yet with this abandoned child I just found again, she needs me I can help her 

Forgotten the moment,

Years go by you standing high, looking at the filthy rushing river diseased with human feces feeling brave you step one foot over

But a hand grips your wrist, you try not to look but do it anyway

It's your old friends face with tears falling needing an embrace, so you step back and hold each other am talk as the world disappears, all your pains faded as you listened related an helped wipe away those tears.

Returned home lost count of years visions fighting for actions chanting 

Just a little gas and one match, the pain you try to ignore is knocking at death's door,

Dreaming of pulling the trigger but wanting to trust things soon may get better fear hits ego split confidence never lived to struggle to come up with ideas as to why live.

A new day starts, light taunts at end of the tunnel, frustration handled aware time for a change I'm sick of the back and almost forth life I lay and close my eyes, relax my soul after reading some books an how the brain minds so much but never just gives up.

Don't need any fancy clothes don't care about cash anything I want to buy I compromise.

If I get lucky with few dollars I blow it cause some unlucky fellow feels like its going to be alright kind folk does live today.

Why that makes me feel brighter than the sun cause I know I did favor to one for just my soul, I alone will appreciate my gift, I alone see who receives can do as they will, whatever they do regardless they thank me I give thanks, use me i see not using play me you can no longer do,

Feelings I get are finally my own 

Never to blame the world my past what others do or say I blame me for I now control how I want to react, and that gives me power I never had.
