I put the blade down Once again The gleam of silver shining Obstructing my view Imagining metallic Deep in my skin I pick it up, Put it down, Pick it up again Recovery Or Relapse I choose the latter REVERSE I choose the latter Relapse Or Recovery Pick it up again Put it down I pick it up Deep in my skin Imagining metallic Obstructing my view The gleam of silver shining Once again I put the blade down

Relapse Or Recovery? (First Reverse Poem)
I put the blade down Once again The gleam of silver shining Obstructing my view Imagining metallic Deep in my skin I pick it up, Put it down, Pick it up again Recovery Or Relapse I choose the latter REVERSE I choose the latter Relapse Or Recovery Pick it up again Put it down I pick it up Deep in my skin Imagining metallic Obstructing my view The gleam of silver shining Once again I put the blade down
It's amazing how just reading a poem backwards can change its meaning entirely. :)
