This is my happy poem
Loved space or lived spaces
I haven’t worked up the courage to kill myself
Makes me feel real ill
Makes me want to seal the deal
Grab ahold to your maker, look them in the face and hold accountability
Limp limbs on the bathroom floor, and cleaning up your mess is not your responsibility
What would you gain they’ll ask, shouting voices around your lifeless eyes
Tears form deeply into angel’s hearts as feelings arise
But why can’t I kill myself
I’ve tried the doses
Liquid gels the motion
Painkillers atrocious
Maybe another form shall do
Because the usual isn’t working, so onto something new
If my demon wants to win, I’ll let it
As it stares me down in my room at night
Making me anxious, making me nervous, no more energy left to fight
So I’ll kill myself
