Challenge of the Month II
The Gift. Write the story of a gift, passed from one hand to another. Perhaps it is a heart-warming gesture of kindness and goodwill. Or perhaps it is something more foreboding, more sinister. Perhaps it is a simple, material object. Or perhaps it is something more amorphous, more esoteric. Whatever it is, it must be a gift. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.

Away

Whenever I had the thought

Of ending it all,

It was never because I

Desired an endless pit,

Or worrying whether

If I’m above or below.

I just wanted to stop.

Waves of pain and

Torture on my

Emotionally driven mental.

Too often than not

Do I ponder about

Taking what others

Deem precious. And it’s

Funny because I find it

Precious too. I don’t

Want to squander what

I was born with

But I find the easiest

Solution is the quickest.

My blessing is my curse

Because even when I

Want this life I find

Thoughts keep occurring.

So no I don’t

Want this all to end.

I just want to stop

Hurting.
