it seems as though the numbers on the scale will follow me to the grave.
the pounds that i never shed will weigh me deeper into the cold dark earth.
but one day, after my death, i will be only bones,
nothing more than the skeleton that framed by body.
the shell of my sorrows and pain now decomposed.
maybe i will only be satisfied when the scale hits zero.
maybe on that day my soul will finally be able roam free,
without all this weight holding it down.

i sit in the back of this car drinking a watered down soda and pondering my purpose in life
and if its really necessary for me to stay on this earth.
i run through a list of reasons to live inside my head
and i just can’t seem to find anything worth living for.
maybe i would be better off dead.
maybe people would be happier without me in their lives.
i think its time i pick my flowers
and let them die.

— The End —
