Looking for a knife to take my pain away,
Looking for a razor so i can make it through another day.
Looking for a gun to finish the mission.
Taking the final step,
The final transition.

All I can say is ... wow. I have been there myself. Wanting to just end it all, but that's in the past. I've managed to get through another day without a knife and without the thought of just saying screw it all. I'm not sure if this was your story or someone else, since you didn't really let me know in your author's notes like I asked for. But that's alright. Maybe you didn't feel comfortable enough to say? I could understand that. But anyway, this piece may have been short, but it still had all the meaning behind it. Many people go through life, finding that they need a way to vent the pain away and sometimes only crying doesn't solve the problem. I feel for whoever this was about. Thanks for entering and good luck.
