The Moment Before
Where be Death
Where be death
Seek me now
You with the scythe
Your robed figure
Do appear
Hold I in my hand
This knife so sharp
To bleed my heart
To drain my soul
Come to me death
The hour draws near
Let me not tarry
Come now I plea
My blood flows
My heart is stopping
There you are
I could not wait longer
Where will I be taken?
Where be death
Seek me now
You with the scythe
Your robed figure
Do appear
Hold I in my hand
This knife so sharp
To bleed my heart
To drain my soul
Come to me death
The hour draws near
Let me not tarry
Come now I plea
My blood flows
My heart is stopping
There you are
I could not wait longer
Where will I be taken?
Ended This Way...
Forgive that I must
I'll take it all just so you won't bust
Your blood shalt not be shed
For when it does you won't be the only one seeing red
A girl of only eight
Or a teenager no one guessed to be straight
Either way that sick twisted thing
The blade with death it may bring
Your head you musn't lay
For you'll end also their lives without delay
As you twine from finger to finger
Their minds begin to linger
Then you decide to jump to the chase
And with this move their hearts begin to race
You take the cold metal to your wrist
And their visions are covered by a hazy mist
Then you slice a little deeper
And they realize the road to death is getting steeper
As the slide down this slope
You lose all hope
And every thought runs from your head
Then you realize your dead
The girl of only eight
And the teenager who never thought she was great
Slipped into the grasp too
Now what are you to do
You know this is your biggest mistake
It shouldn't have ended this way....

< taking my time >
knowing
the exact soft place
the muzzle presses
beneath my chin
pointing the barrel
my brain
calculates a path
straight through itself
imagines the bullet
a quiet
leisurely
moment later

.:Bully Pulpit:.
NO Peace…cuz you broke teeth
broke ‘em out my mouth
you knocked the taste; knocked it right out
again & again hit me in my face
tazed and…sprayed me with mace
SCREAMING I didn’t have a case
said I resisted
my eyeballs
they got twin-fisted
you saying me & my kind
we needed; should’ve been blackballed and…de-listed
inferring; your
wise crackin' lips slurring
that I really didn’t know my place
that I kinda looked suspicious
said I looked kinda calculating and
that I was quite the vicious
saying without proof
you the uncouth
saying I had been smoking
partaking of that wet-wet toking
a 10-five oh - all on free-base
that me, my family, that
most of my community
saying we were
The Not-Needed Waste
so now I’ve re-booted; I’ve concluded
clutched onto *that which is left of my courage
undiscouraged while considering the odds
the odds to STAND up again
I’ve sized YOU up and your co-workers of 10
I’ve decided what’s best for all us here
it’s my having absolutely NO damn fear and
I’m clear on what I intend
including with you; you in The Blue..
my Big, Bully, Bucket-Headed and Bigoted
Boot-Stomping Friend
that I cease being scrutinized, get over this being pulverized and
pull - this - damn -
*pin
KAAAA-BOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!
.
.
And fuck you all too, because it's going to be hard to decide the winner.
The End
On the edge of the ledge
It's a long way down
Honoring my pledge
My heart starts to pound
My world is spinning
Out of control
I know that I'm sinning
God bless my soul
I inhale very deeply
I exhale just the same
This isn't going to be easy
I'm going against the grain
I won't feel a thing
Once I hit the pavement
The trauma I'll bring
My life is the payment
At my expense
The tears will fall
Oh the suspense
I'm risking it all
Is it really worth
All the media coverage
I'm sure it won't hurt
Probably won't feel the damage
I predict it'll be
Just one big splat
It'll be over for me
Just like that
A dark red permanent
Stain on the concrete
Might leave a dent
On the side of the street
An imprint on the sidewalk
After cleaning up the mess
Give myself a long pep talk
Let's get to it I guess
Think of a baby bird
Having to fly out the nest
I know it sounds absurd
But that describes it best
So get ready Superman
Put on your cape
Wherever I land
Will seal my fate
I take one more breath
Before I dive
Into my death
I feel so alive
The adrenaline the rush
Of committing suicide
Life proven to be too much
Hey I've tried
I just couldn't cut it
Didn't have what it takes
So now I'm like fuck it
I'm raising the stakes
I start to tremble
My final goodbye
An emotional limbo
As I begin to cry
Then I spread my wings
And start to fly
Off the roof of the building
And then I die
The end
On the edge of the ledge
It's a long way down
Honoring my pledge
My heart starts to pound
My world is spinning
Out of control
I know that I'm sinning
God bless my soul
I inhale very deeply
I exhale just the same
This isn't going to be easy
I'm going against the grain
I won't feel a thing

Idlewild
My idlewild heart
beats in adagio,
the 4/2 tempo
of an unfinished life.
Trapped
in cold, glowing amber
an ant frozen in fire.
I open up (in radio broadcast)
and take another bite,
eating my rotting corpse
so as not to forget where I've been.
And a thought occurs to me:
I AM
(the unforgiving conductor),
birthing wicked sky.

The blade sings to me wickedly
Is sickeningly sweet smell of iron
On this ancient blade
Folded into a razor sharp edge
As it whistles against the wind
With blades of glass
This blade
Used by many
To commit seppugu
Handed down
With its honorable older brother, shini-kontaku
The insane death
Shini-akatsuki
Dawning death
I sit upon the sea cliff
Facing the rising sun
And unsheath the blade of life
Or death
My honor was gone
I rejoice my short life
And remove my garments
Admiring the symbols upon my body of which I an no longer worthy of
I an not of the void
Musashi would be ashamed
Of my cowardly ways
I must cleanse
I raise the blade
It glimmers with the deep hues of red pink and violet
As if I am sitting under sakura trees
And it us reflecting the sweet smelling
Blossoms fluttering all around
Before it sinks deep within my gut
And I come to reality
The blade tasting blood blissfully
Once again
I pull and saw
Attempting to disembowel myself
For the evil lives within my guts may it leave my body before death
The blood soaks into the earth straining the green grass red
The blade itself seems to bleed with me
As it bites into my flesh
Boldly
I finish the action
Cough up blood as it trickles out of my mouth
Clean the blade and sheath it before I grab death by the throat and we go for a long fall
He will not have me so easily
I am warrior once again
Is sickeningly sweet smell of iron
On this ancient blade
Folded into a razor sharp edge
As it whistles against the wind
With blades of glass
This blade
Used by many

Sheltered by the modern phrase,
Everything will be okay,
Everything will be alright,
If I don't awake tonight.
Once this blade secretes my skin,
I'll take my pills to make me dream,
Yes everything will be alright,
If I don't awake tonight
Everything will be okay,
Everything will be alright,
If I don't awake tonight.
Once this blade secretes my skin,
I'll take my pills to make me dream,
Yes everything will be alright,
If I don't awake tonight
Cut , Cut, Cut
Deeper, Deeper, Deeper
Faling down into the hole i just crawled out of
there is a thin line between me and the world around me
People come and go
they go to good places,
nice places
I am going to die
Go to hell
For something that was never my choice
Two more seconds
Just two and it would all be over
if the door was locked
If someone wasn't home
People could not only mind their own buisness
There are things they would never cotrol
Deeper, Deeper, Deeper
Faling down into the hole i just crawled out of

Two more seconds
Just two and it would all be over
if the door was locked
If someone wasn't home
People could not only mind their own buisness
There are things they would never cotrol
pill after pill
entering my body
killing me slowly
the room starts to spin
i fall to the floor
gasping for air
and images pass befor me
i'm fading in and out
but completly relaxed
knowing my last breath is apon me
i bring my slef to my knees
look in the mirror
the pills decend deeper
i start to fade more
i see myslef
and i have a smile on
the sound starts to fade
my life flashes before me
i slowly but peacefuly
lay my head on the tile
vomit it covers the floor
and the room fades to darkness..

Encircled Red
Put the gun to my head,
Bite the bullet before I’m stained red,
Angels scream like banshee’s,
While God wants to defeat me,
Demons tugging at my legs,
The Devil screams,
‘Off with your head!’,
Looking around I hear no sounds,
Other than the crickets playing my funeral tones,
Heavy breathing on my part,
Heart skipping, I want it to stop,
Neither wanted on Earth,
Nor in Heaven,
The depths of Hell, scream welcoming,
For my selfishness I’ll grant,
The worst kind of sin,
The terror of the world I live in.
Once more the gun to my head,
I let the bullet go as my head encircles red,
A few last words I thought before I blew,
I hope the bears like brain for dinner,
If not zombies do.
The final thoughts
Who is playing drums?
wait that is my heartbeat
I listen to the rhythm
and try to control my breathing
I need to look normal
not like a person of interest
that way I can be left alone
until after the last second
I wove through the crowd
I see a pain inducing face
What a shame that my ex's
is gonna be the last until my grave
I find the right door
I gotta go up
The tallest tower I know
and still it isn't much
Well goodbye
That's the end for me
Now my blood and brains
will be spilled like jelly
Who is playing drums?
wait that is my heartbeat
I listen to the rhythm
and try to control my breathing
I need to look normal
not like a person of interest
that way I can be left alone
until after the last second

I see a pain inducing face
What a shame that my ex's
is gonna be the last until my grave
I find the right door
I gotta go up
The tallest tower I know
and still it isn't much
Well goodbye
That's the end for me
Now my blood and brains
will be spilled like jelly
he came to the bar that night for the last time
his cigar was in the midst, but decided to light another
he stayed a chilling moment in the light
and walked decidedly for a glass of whiskey that burns his thirst
The mournful voices in the bar playing with his head
lights were chasing him to only look into the glass
fell well as its essence, their memories, their miseries
only returned his head to ask (just) "one more"
"But this time, to be without ice idiot"
The pressure felt for years who was no less
that fatigue already would not let think
tangles of twisted feelings for years and moisture
but it would not have to suffer them anymore
would no longer have to feel, no longer, no more
Then he just decided to get up there
to the only place he knew where he would feel free
when he was a child had always loved that beach
the sound of the sea, the feeling of walking over caked wet sand
and walking their sorrows, felt leaving as he walked into the sea for the last time.
Look at the brightside
I'm in total control
Non shall steal this
Not even mother nature
Favourite series ended
Ascendants all fallen to nature
I left no more excrements
My objectives are concluded
You vainglorious losers, quoting life
"To live life, you have to be adventurous"
And still you're controlling others
"Love and Accept Everyone"
And still you're bias
"Find a purpose in Life"
I've found mine and you deemed it nonsense
"Give back"
I've yet to see this happen
Bunch of self righteous bastards
In this mundane suburban dumpster
Your subjectives entertained me a great deal
Have fun with your psuedo-dominion and soon...
You will be cleft by the scythe of nature
I love you everyone,
Read this to your childrens
I hope they attain enlightenment
And murder you in unholy scale
Goodbye earth, you are a shit rental
I'm in total control
Non shall steal this
Not even mother nature
Favourite series ended
Ascendants all fallen to nature
I left no more excrements
My objectives are concluded
You vainglorious losers, quoting life
"To live life, you have to be adventurous"
