[2018] Tied Up In Knots
All that stands between
you and the rafters
when it comes to talking about
rather than actually committing
suicide
is the length of rope
You can jaw endlessly
on the subject for attention's sake
until you are likewise
blue in the face
People will only listen
tied up in knots over your welfare
for so long before seeing through
the empty noose where
your neck supposedly was
Few are likely to hang around;
usually those only cheering you on
in the hopes you will finally
shut the fuck up
