My death at hand

by zack-witzig

I walk among the streets covered in the colours of the autumn skyline looking towards the river where I once a stupid child catching frogs and being a kid and as I remember back to that time I hear 3 words echoing with each critter I caught KILL YOURSELF ZACK repeating to drive me mad and as I run away from it to bring myself to the place I find to soothe my soul I hear another 3 words JOIN THEM ZACK and as I am brought to tears and consider follow the instructions that my brain so eloquently told me the seasons pass and the years go by every year hearing those same 3 words KILL YOURSELF ZACK and as everything comes to a head and I see my opportunity everywhere I walk as the easy way speeds by me so many times I look to hear a new voice LOOK SWEET DEATH as the horn of the dead whizzes by me and as I am wallowing in the shadow of what life has become I have no where to turn other than ever so life giving water that made me stupid all those years ago but I hear the 3 last words I ever thought to hear YOU ARE LOVED
