along the alley (Free verse) by BigB
What was he living for? A dark alley right ahead He made for it Blade shimmering in his unsteady hands. He stumbled. Jealousy, pain ,trauma. Stopped. Pondered. Contemplated. And he took a turn to the brightly-lit thoroughfare.

Up the ladder: unbroken bottle
Down the ladder: The Price You Pay

nice. about how one almost falls down to the depths of no return, but turning back just in time. inspirational. good use of light-imagery.

The only thing I'd change is punctuation in the first verse to match the others.
