Tangled thoughts litter my mind
Strewn about like so many discarded corpses
Forgotten by the bone yard wagon
Dusty mockeries of conscientious ideas
Once bursting with the promise of life
Now they lie as still and dead as marble slabs
Inert to the perpetual shifting change of the world outside
Their ragged garments of logic stirred now and then
Only by the deathly breath of my feeble attempts at creation
My mind has become a graveyard
A cess pit of incompetence wherein the god of poetry sits
On his knees in the morass of my inspiration
Shaking his head in contempt at the folly of my failings
You are no poet he declares
In the omnipotent sonorous voice of God
You are a pretender and all your vainglorious attempts
To steal my poetic crown are pathetically
Perpetually disappointing
And yet I do not stop
I stride bravely through the cemetery of my muses
Kicking at their tombstones to stir the slumbering skeletons within
I shout into the grimy dark sky of my psyche
Rouse yourselves contemptible words and come to my bidding
Spring to the tips of my fingers like Cupid’s faithful arrows
And help me - god help me - express the futility of my soul
And the masochistic tendencies of the fragile human condition
And when you are done
And the ink still glistens on newly ejected pages
Leave me to sleep in the wake of my bitter façade of success
Let me be here in this graveyard of dreams
And let me sleep the open-eyed sleep of never-ending unconsciousness
Strewn about like so many discarded corpses
Forgotten by the bone yard wagon
Dusty mockeries of conscientious ideas
Once bursting with the promise of life
Now they lie as still and dead as marble slabs
Inert to the perpetual shifting change of the world outside
Their ragged garments of logic stirred now and then
Only by the deathly breath of my feeble attempts at creation
My mind has become a graveyard
A cess pit of incompetence wherein the god of poetry sits
On his knees in the morass of my inspiration
Shaking his head in contempt at the folly of my failings
You are no poet he declares
In the omnipotent sonorous voice of God
You are a pretender and all your vainglorious attempts
To steal my poetic crown are pathetically
Perpetually disappointing
And yet I do not stop
I stride bravely through the cemetery of my muses
Kicking at their tombstones to stir the slumbering skeletons within
I shout into the grimy dark sky of my psyche
Rouse yourselves contemptible words and come to my bidding
Spring to the tips of my fingers like Cupid’s faithful arrows
And help me - god help me - express the futility of my soul
And the masochistic tendencies of the fragile human condition

Leave me to sleep in the wake of my bitter façade of success
Let me be here in this graveyard of dreams
And let me sleep the open-eyed sleep of never-ending unconsciousness

Suicide note.
This is a suicide note,
And as I sit here, choking down my last breath, I understand it now. Things are never how we want them to be.
4 hours ago, I took some pills...I thought it would be better this way. No more work, no more relationships, no more money, just...nothing to worry about.
I was wrong...
I want all those things. I want to worry about them. Now that it's too late, it's starting to become clear that that's what makes our lives worth living. The constant struggle. The fight against complacency. We don't live to avoid death, we live to enjoy every moment before it comes for us. I wish I knew that earlier, when I thought that it

Anorexia
I hate you
For what you did to me
But even more
I hate you
For what you did to her
Why can't you see
How beautiful she was
How beautiful she could be
Without you
Anorexia
How do you sleep at night
Knowing well those you've taken
Stolen from those that love them most
Driving us all insane
Forced into slow suicide
Does it even slightly faze you
That you are
The dark side of Glamour
Anorexia
The unbearable unbearable pain inside
Making it visable through scars
Hidden underneith baggy clothes
They'll never know of our relationship
Hold me in your arms
And sing me to my final sleep
Anorexia

my suicide.
my heart is trembling, my hands are beating
i love you. i love you.
youre black and blue, and milk and moon
i love you. i love you.
my arms are ropes around your neck
i love you. i love you.
my fingers grope your broken back
i love you. i love you.
your heart is here within my hands
i love you. i love you.
youre bleeding over the bed stand
i love you. i love you.
i smile with your lips to mine
i love you. i love you.
and kiss you like youre my suicide.
