A Precious Gift

By: Meagan Horbin

My thoughts clouded together as one. The night grew deeper, and the wind, colder. People didn`t understand, I lost so much. I grabbed the silver point, that glinted in the night

I held it firm to my wrist, knowing it would make my problems go away. As the pain glided across my skin, I looked up and saw the reflection of a little girl

Drip, Drip, splashed the blood as my life past before me I looked deep into the two pools of green that squeezed out tears, for I knew I made a mistake Life was slipping

I grabbed the gauze to stop the forever river of red Tears of pain, mixed with confusion and hope, slid down my cheeks of red,

I squeezed the wound with hopes of life and knew I made a mistake. One I`d never make again

Life is valuable and has many great things Treat it well, you`re only given one.
