how to commit a crime in 5 steps


one more day,

one more month,

one more year

one more dickhead calling me a "faggot"

a faggot is just a bundle of sticks

a bundle of sticks that I will burn

as I plan my own murder;

step 1;

write a letter to your best friend

- even though you know they will kill themself after you do

step 2;

tell your girlfriend you love her

- you never even liked her

step 3;

pray that you wake up in a hospital, with bandages and IVs in your arm

step 4;

buy a suit

- you want to look nice when you surely go to Hell

step 5;

pull the trigger

- goodbye
