i fear the inevitable my solid form becoming cold and into a vegetable when my skin runs dry and alone in the ground, i lie. i tend to overly celebrate people's coming of age building up excitement for their growing of change you see, you never really know how many birthdays you have left how soon is it, before i become the devil's dinner and he becomes my chef? my chef, my chef left to pick apart my remaining remnants and half-hearted sentiments i threw away, so long ago. Cudi told me, "the moon will illuminate my room and soon i'll be consumed by my doom" but he never told me darkness is eternal it lays on your grave like a stone in quicksand nowhere but only deep in the ground to land death is a coma caffeine cannot save not red bull, not 5 hour energy, of life you are depraved i've never been to a funeral will mine be my first? happiness is an eternal curse spent my whole life looking for it, but in death, i am left with the worst no memory, no recollection, no changing of sorts to be happy or sad, death is an immovable course you can shift and swerve but years of eternal oblivion you serve see, i hate talking about this, but i cannot escape it i heard her say a friend from high school took their life and now i'm sweating, i'm pacing, how will i take mine? will i hang on a rope? will i die by my knife? will i swallow this pill underneath my tongue, or will a gunshot be the song that is sung? I fear, I will see death by twenty-five. 24 hours in a day and you will be one too late. No life to revive, Nor torture to survive. I will rest away peacefully, Left to toil in eternal sleep, Hands crossed, Five, Fifteen, Twenty-Five Yards Deep.
