Set To Fail
Andrew Kerklaan Jul 2017
I don't think I Can help myself any more...
I'm just hardwired this way

I wish there was more to it but I just keep proving myself wrong. There is no bottom

It just keeps going

Maybe I should toss a stone(r)
                                    Down...
            ­                                       and...
                                                                ­  
                                                              se­e...  
                                                          ­                
                                                ­                        just how...

                                                         ­                             far...

                            ­                                                                 ­     it...

                                                     ­                                                      falls...

Maybe it'll hit rock bottom?
I could be so lucky.

Granted
Andrew Kerklaan Jan 2021
Everything I know I have assumed.

A sense of shame and humility, bewilderment.  I don’t know where to start.

Everything is a gift! In some capacity or another - it wasn’t ours to begin with.

Is it just my nature? Is that what I owe to history? Assumption?

I don’t want to participate if it has to be this is how we “behave”.

Yet my pain is so intense when I have to go without these addictions I’ve adapted myself to be born into.

I know no other way. Every path has led me back to this conclusion. I fight and lose my fury. I run but I can’t escape. I eat but am never satiated. My CALM is a sense of unrest.

But I keep you, and I feel you will always be with me.

Writing my suicide note with my one unconscious hand and shooting me with the other.

A sicko ****** fantasy. I’m sure you could bet on it. Just put it on my tab!
Started off as a revelation about how everything that we use is something that someone else made/invented  before you were ever even a thought but it turned into a self reflection about suicidal depression.

Ready To Die
Andrew Kerklaan Jan 2018
As the air escapes my innards,  I exaust a sigh most listlessly foul.

It is not the last breath that we will share this day... But I wish that it was.
Why do I even need this?
