I just can't justify putting this in as a submission.

One in six
Every two minutes (not that I keep track)
Counting out the time, alarm set on my cell phone to remind me that
For one hundred and nineteen seconds
I am safe
That I can breath easy knowing that someone else took the bullet for me this time
Guilt and relief digging their claws into my brain

Three
Two
One
Is it my turn to keep another sister safe from harm?
To be romanced behind a dumpster, after shave courtesy Jack Daniel and Coca Cola?
The strangest things go through your head
Eggs and hash browns for breakfast
How long does it take to drown
How long can the brain go without oxygen before the memory is erased
More then two minutes?

One in six
Every two minutes
Not even enough for the latest Taylor Swift single
My heart making the beat seem frozen in molasses as I hurry between the lights
And the darkness in-between

One in six
Every two minutes.
I count each footfall
Each step down the darkened ally takes
One
Single
Second
Each shadow is just that, a dark hole in the fabric of fear

One in six.
The lights go out and another star is swallowed and lost
And no one notices that the sky is a little bit darker
Then it was
Two minutes ago

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

I'm not really sure what to say. I want to say this is beautiful, but it's so fucking tragic that I can't. (I hope you understand what I mean by that.)

I spent many years trying to help those who couldn't dodge the bullet try to recover from that. Note the word "try" in that sentence. It's a horrible life-altering experience that should never, ever happen, but it does all too frequently.

Seeing what it does to people and knowing how permanent the damage is truly heart-breaking. It just made me feel like ripping people who did that apart, piece-by-piece.

You have an beautiful heart and mind, kiddo. I just wish the world wasn't so fucked up.

*hugs*

crunching my way through the woods,
I am surrounded by crisp silence...

And then, close by, a sound...a whispered sob...
When I find you, you are on the ground, shaking...
When i move toward you, your fear and your exhaustion are at war...
Your exhaustion wins out as you surrender to my hands...
I hold you as if you were as delicate as you are,
careful not to make any sudden movements...
You are wounded...your wing was broken...
It was a gruesome injury...one that has never fully healed...
But that has not stopped you from flying...
You must have felt that injury with every flap of your wings...
Today, you fell from the sky...
The pain was enough to force you to the ground...
Where i found you..and picked you up...

I rest my back against a tree and slide down to sit on the ground,
still holding you gently...for as long as it takes...
protecting you from the chill of the ground...
transferring every pure thing in me to you, through my hands...

There is nothing that i can do for the injury that you have already suffered...
There is nothing that i can do to ensure that you'll never be injured again...
but what i can do is pick you up every time you fall...
and hold you until you've recovered your strength enough to fly again...

There is something awesomely amazing about you Rachel. Not just the fact you have the elegance of the Bard or the whit of H. G. Wells, but you have the guts and toughness to tackle your demons and face the world head. You have good balance in your life embracing the sweet goodness but also you do not ignore or suppress the ugly.

You may have already started, I would not be surprised, but if not I would like to plant a seed. Your talents are some amazing gifts that other can enjoy and benefit from so you should pursue the option of getting a publisher. Just a simple mans idea but well...
