Oct 2012
If ever the time has come,
Let it be known and
Let it be said.
He was always and never
Prepared for it to be.
Cut short, or just on time,
A judgement beyond our mortal say.
We can only breathe a sentiment,
While in our heads we sigh,
Glad it wasn’t us.
Life flashes by,
Time is wasted preparing to die.
Worshiping the imaginary,
In hopes of something eternal.
A foolish waste of
The precious moments.
Paint your wrists red
Because nothing lasts,
And that is all.
Wrote this the other night when I was feeling particularly down while reading "The Perks of Being a Wallflower."
