Hi Damian. I’m familiar with that old track. The Yardbirds & Aerosmith covered it. Thanks for the feedback friend.

Gotta be on your toes. Getting too comfortable can get you hurt.
This also reminds me of people who text and walk into polls because they don’t look around.-

Absolutely. People today are so oblivious of their surroundings. That was one of the reasons why I wrote this piece. Thanks Adelphina.

I often wonder about those who comit suicide,if at the point of no return,they reconsider their options.
Well written piece about a subject that needs much more open discussion.

Thank you..and thats a great question..I think some if not most might do..maybe there’s that brief moment of reflection or introspection where you realize suicide wasnt the solution but its not reversible..its a very dynamic and complicated matter for sure..and more discussion is def needed. Its a sad and tragic part of life that many ppl(family and friends)have dealt with..a haunting experience for loved ones for sure..thank you for commenting..I appreciate it

Perhaps in his contrition he realized a schmaltzy and powerful truth — “you live once then you’re dead forever”. I cannot recall where I read it but that line has helped me stay around for 8 years. The simple things… you know? Thank you for sharing this incredible write!

“before my daily rebirth” I dug that line because the rest we get (sometimes) refreshes us, although for some more than others, it’s likely the last time. It reminds me that I have to be thankful for every day I get and try to make the best of it.
Nicely done. -

I turned 78 today, so I hear you loud and clear. Each night, one wonders if dawn, or something else, or nothing at all will come. We get one of them, but not our choice.

Oh, it is all so true! In some universe somewhere inside his head, maybe. I think the people in there will deal with him in a very harsh way. Can’t you see the signs? He is slipping away — just not fast enough.

That’s some heavy fucking irony, Keith. The title reminded of an old song, though it had to do with trains it wasn’t this twisted. Appreciate you.
