The Day I Decided
When, sir, did you start to die?
It was the day I decided not to try.
When, sir, did things become unclear?
It was the day I started to live in fear.
When, sir, did you start to despair?
It was the day I decided not to care.
And when, sir, did you start to cry?
It was the day I decided to die.

You are right, Sue. Some of our phobias keep us alive just a little bit longer. Others kill us one day at a time.
Thanks for stopping by.

Wow is the best description I can come up with. Honest and moving.
“Wow” is more than good enough for me. Thanks for taking the time.

Hi Tim,
This is an absolute GEM of a poem. Apart from the thoughts, I loved the way you linked the question in the first line to the response in the last.

What a data of un-ambiguity and preserveness of valuable know-how about unexpected emotions.
