Hanging?... slowly suffocate Ci D E

Drowning?... “

Jumping?... your insides explode out and you’re conscious for the
first 3 minutes

Slashing your wrists?... hurts like hell; takes a pretty long time

O.D.?... suckers way out; big mess; whoever finds you has to spend16
hrs with the cops ‘til they can remove your body

Blowing your brains out?... super messy!

Throwing yourself in front
of a fast moving vehicle?... could live a parapelegic

Swallowing bleach or Drano?... slowly eats out your insides and
you're alive for it

Stabbing yourself?... could live (somewhat damaged); way
painful!

Carbon Monoxide poisoning?... very difficult also could live
brain-dead/vegetable

- So ya see there is no easy way out
so might as well get down to business, after all the time we got ain't so
long in the “BIG PICTURE” anyway.

A Short Tall Story

I’m counting. The hours tick away and my eye-
lids get heavy. There’s this girl. Just a girl. No,
Nothing. I have her photograph in my wallet.
Dead now. And the only memory I have of her is
that wrinkled picture. Tell me a story. I’ve told
many to cover up lies and everyone believes the
picture. I knew her better than that. Red lips
pouting. Daddy syndrome. Anti feminist actions
on both parts. Or should I say roles. Those were
years ago and I’m still counting. Thinking.
When is that right person going to open the door
to my apartment and say, “Let me hold you.” I’m
tired of playing the aggressor. But dad always
said, “Go in a fighter, come out a hero.”
