Dancing With Pain Poem by jason mcgookin

sitting watching the blade dancing
. twisting and turning hear the blade sing.
a fresh new line to add to the rest.
my heart starts to beat out of my chest.
as i start to come alive again.
the release i feel i give ten out of ten.
but as usual it ends all to quick.
if i had the choice death i would pick.
to leave all my troubles behind.
searching for that courage i'll never find.
so i another day i'll have to stay.
i guess it may always be that way.... ”
