A Tiny Person in the Rain

A means to an end
An end to it all I mean
Put it off and the hole widens
Think it through, there must be something I missed? A silver lining?  
I’m the queen of waiting for the miracle
Be it a cloud passing by or a bunch of purple posies next to my shoe when I tied it so long ago
The silver lining to the worst day of my life that happens to be everyday if my life
The human condition
I’m waiting here, can I have some room?
I really wanna feel and touch what is out there
What I find is old scars, some toothpick and my tomb
Sorry is it to soon?
Too soon for the farewell dirge, too soon for your words
Words that never meant nothing to me anyhow
You were a cold compress
Life and it’s “miracles” and “wait it’ll get betters” are nothing but a cool compress to the fever on my forehead  
The fever, a congenital condition  
The human congenital condition  
I was born to be sick and I was made to want to rot
I want to die, there’s no other way around it
What can I say
Put it off again
The plot thickens
It thickens with time wasters and wasting time
But mom I think I’m ready  
I think I’m really ready
A little metaphorical scroll unfurls itself between my eyebrows
In a tiny but ornate golden scrawl  
The words to the surrealists piece “is suicide the answer?” appears
In my heart I know the words  
Words I’ve been reciting all my life echoed by none other than Crevel in that same text  
“yes”
