Imagine if...


Imagine if...

By Jacquie Leindecker

 

What if the cuts

You imagined making

Suddenly appeared

 

What if those pills

You imagined taking

Were going down your throat

 

What if that fall

You imagined breaking

Took your breath away

 

What if that gun

You imagined shooting

Was loaded

 

What if that wall

You imagined hitting

Was speeding towards you

 

What if that rope

You imagined hanging

Was around your neck

 

What if that bleach

You imagined drinking

Was bubbling in your stomach

 

Would you still

want

The End?
