"I am so lonely and alone my sadness is my tomb” Said the 12 year old girl that watches shows of suicide but only has a 1/6250 chance of dying like the girls on those shows. Even if she attempted to go through with it the odds of succeeding are 1/25. Oh boy, it’s hard for young girls to die. I myself usually only deal with odds of 1/1,000,000 but i’m more of a thrill seeker than a mathematician. But a lot more recently i’ve been thinking about odds much more along the lines of one in 6250.

No longer one in a million
Do you remember That day before the day You died. I had yet to cry And yet already cried. How would I know It'd be the last time. A kiss upon your nose Barely a goodbye. I didn't know I didn't know it'd be The last time. If I did I would've stayed And waited for the time. To too quickly slip Beyond your mind And take you away from me As I held you close Forging your soul with mine

I seek fulfillment while I die trying to deny these demons. People use the phrase “It’s all in your head” and what if it is? What if it is? Is that any better? Inside isn’t a place to hide it’s a beacon to our reality everything we see is simply reflected from the outside to the in endlessly. Unless I end it. Unless I think of a way to fend them off. I can’t but I will. All I’ve got left is will will and that half filled bottle of pills but not the ones prescribed the ones that tie my hands behind my back and leave me ******* the **** of life for more. It’s ok don’t worry it’s all only a metaphor. All except the title I’d be dead if not entitled. I riddle my lies and empty my ties in the river of tears that i’ve cried as i lie in bed in the midst of the night kissing my fright alight. Sparks fly but I can’t end it. My dog Sparks died but I pretend he didn’t As words float around my mind sounding (a lot like) schizophrenic. I end it.

Bla Bla Bla
The trees used to sing with the wind before He got here. The salty ocean water would gently shush us all to sleep. Now that He’s here ships are sinking like our dreams: immediately. Ever since He arrived Candles no longer light the way, They burn bridges and build unimaginable walls in their wake. Plutonium is no longer radioactive. Radioactivity is relative. Everything now glows a sickly hue, brought on by His discolored rotting views. Air Earth Water Fire Aether The eternal marriage of Air and the Earth has faltered under the guise of conversion “therapy” Water has now made itself undrinkable to all but the chosen few. Fire is now Only Orange. The Aether is no longer empty. It is filled with all our memories. It is the only place for all of our bodies to go now that we’re bound for soot, inhabitable soil and eternal nuclear snow. Air Earth Water Fire Aether are now GreatAgainGreatAgainGreatAgainGreatAgainGreatAgain There are lots of avenues through history to travel down “again.” Many views of former greatness. Slavery Holocausts Massacres Cities Lost and it all starts with an immigration ban. Signed on the day remembering my dozens of dead family. My millions slaughtered endlessly. Here we are At the beginning. History supposedly repeats itself Let’s not let Him

What Has He Done?
days go by like drunk children in their mothers womb. I’m fishing in a pond filled with nothing but alcohol. It feels good but I haven’t found any fishies yet. I guess this is what transitioning to your 20s feels like: three weeks of settling into your new place, thinking you have quite a few opportunities ahead of you and then settling into your slightly bigger than before bed only to stay there for hours upon hours a day scrolling through nothing on the computer hoping for more to come your way. I’m trying to eat like a poor person but I’m only poor in spirit, financially i’m fat as a double sized donkey. I’ve got a big *** but it’s a nice *** but i still wear baggy jeans and all black to hide my assets. I wonder if i’ll look back on this transition period with regrets. The days fluctuate some are time so well spent. Others are just as dry as paint, the stuff of art but probably just as useless as recoloring a picket fence.

Just Graduated
I reigned down a million little planes. I fought in all the wars. Once I was done with my enemies nothing was ever the same. I terrorized. I was the face of real evil. There were no ulterior motives. I was the face of pure evil for evils sake. There was no reason. I Killed all of them every last one I watched stone-cold emotionless absolutely neutral as each of them grimaced at the horror that was the end. And I opened my eyes at my cubicle desk stretched a little as my five minute break came to a close and started once again typing feeling slightly better but still waiting for 5 o clock.

Hell Itself
I see a sea Gradually creeping up On me. I feel a fear stiffly forging A path to my (mind). I hear a high Can only bring you down So much before You die. These terrors keep creeping As the crypt keeper keeps crypt creeping, Trying to find a sign. Trying to find A sign that He's alive. He sees nothing but Resemblance Between his life And the mortified faces Of the no-more-mortal morgue men. The crypt keepers life is mortifying. He'd **** himself but He sees the same Between the dead And dying. He rides his dead eyed Horse between his house And the morgue. Little does he know He has no home anymore. The cryptic crypt keeper keeps keeping me awake. The mortified men are just laughing at their stake. I arrive at the door The pearly gray gates. Knock in hope for more Waiting out my fate. Ding **** the bell tolls Throughout this Measured mystic landscape. Death as in a dream, Answers immediately. Why am I here! I chime out solemnly. You've been here for years Death responds to me. For as long as I've crept and creeped anyway. Death is the crypt keeper I question, exasperated What else would I be Doing here He sighs slovenly He pulls a chord Opens the door And steps aside Waiting for me. I died? Only if you walk inside The one way gates To the other side Of this miraculous night He cries. I walk the line Between there and life Free of fear For the first time Finally. He smiles, And says "I lied" Through his Death filled Shroud, all smiley. "You've made it son" He says as he pulls back his hood Revealing Not Death But Light. .....

The most beautiful sight I've ever seen? It was a White light sort of day And I was walking through A small passageway On the sidewalk Put up for construction With the Beautiful view of the Manhattan skyline Suddenly sitting within The view of my eyes. It was the Stillness after a long day That really enraptured me As I was finally free And alone with the view. For I had just come from hell And had to go back there soon.
