There's more to life then dying
She wants to kill herself
She wants to tell me all about it
She has been considering a few methods and would like to know what I think of them
She likes my work here on DUP and respects my opinion
She wants me to select the method I find the most fitting and she'll go for it that way
She says it would be an honor to be dispatched by me
I told her to go die....of old age
She wants to tell me all about it
She has been considering a few methods and would like to know what I think of them
She likes my work here on DUP and respects my opinion
She wants me to select the method I find the most fitting and she'll go for it that way
She says it would be an honor to be dispatched by me
I told her to go die....of old age

Something's inside
You wish you were asleep.
You wish you weren't alive.
You wish so many things but you haven't opened your eyes.
You aren't real on the ground.
Just look at that beast in the mirror.
Don't you wish you could be free?
It couldn't be any clearer.
Sounds around you.
Are you scared?
Shrieks and screams ring.
Flesh and clothes flee.
Ripped from their homes.
Shhh...
You're safer alone you think.
But soon you realize.
That subtle note sings every time in bed you lie.
Bloodshots reappearing old...
You wish you weren't alive.
You wish so many things but you haven't opened your eyes.
You aren't real on the ground.
Just look at that beast in the mirror.
Don't you wish you could be free?
It couldn't be any clearer.
Sounds around you.
Are you scared?
Shrieks and screams ring.
Flesh and clothes flee.
Ripped from their homes.
Shhh...
You're safer alone you think.
But soon you realize.
That subtle note sings every time in bed you lie.
Bloodshots reappearing old...

Try Again
A 51 year old Canadian man suffering from hypothermia was hospitalized in Winnipeg after he jumped from a bridge four times. Police found him leaning over the railing of the bridge. Shivering & frostbitten, as he was about to plunge into the icy waters for the fifth time.
Despite the man's obvious determination, it is unclear why he didn't try a different method after the 1st attempt failed.

Final Moments
Please leave me alone
Let me die in solitude
I'll set myself free
Let me die in solitude
I'll set myself free

With each long breathtaking moment it starts to get easier
With each night that passes I start to go a little deeper
I was never this typa person, but wait I’m lyin
U just never even realized, that inside I was dyin
Boys don’t cry, men don’t cry, but I cry every fuckin day
I go to work, come home, and just cut my pain away
If you had one day to live would you tell anyone ??
If you had one day to live would you pick up that gun ??
That razor, that knife, or even that rope
Could you really end it all and just give up on hope ??
When it’s all...

Zero Carbon Footprint
Heading home
no more use for me here
Sew my eyelids shut
Immolate me to ashes
Or alternately,
if you'd prefer,
buy me some cheap underground real estate.
Or just chop me up and feed me to pigs.
Should cremation
rule the nation,
let me urn my keep
on your mantlepiece
with memories
of my stupid puns
Gotta run
I've run and run and run
Time to stagger past
the universal dateline
and be free
But with my luck,
there will be a seamless transition
to a hell to the millionth...

Angel Dust
Rats chewed the hands, lips and nose off a four month old baby in a fleabag apartment building across the street from me. The mother was on PCP. She had her head in the oven trying to kill herself. I asked her if she needed assistance. She said no. I helped her anyway.
People are so pathetic!

Despair's End
In the hollow of solitude's embrace,
Where silence whispers cold and clear,
Reach out to me through this empty space
Hold me close, or disappear.
It’s not fear of the truth I shun,
Just the void where my soul should be.
Guide my hand until this fight is done,
If I must sink or be free.
Drips of water, a mournful song,
Softly fall, a constant plea.
Shadows dance where I don’t belong,
In this room where I cease to be.
A knock on the door, a distant chill,
Don’t come near—my heart's in...

Cold Chills
Mercury rising
Got a bad feeling
like wolves
on the horizon
A forest of eyes in the darkness
I'm crawling.
Lost with little to none,
slim chance to get out
of the slump
or the hole
or the pit
pick your poison.
What's the matter, aren't you used to
surviving?
A sea of ghosts
On the shipwrecked coasts
I'm as rotten as
I've been since departing.
Got a bad feeling

A forest of eyes in the darkness
I'm crawling.
Lost with little to none,

What's the matter, aren't you used to

Note from the psych ward
I feel like I'm losing it, I can't hurt myself the way I want to in here. Instead, I feel parts of my soul burning in hell. I would rather feel the burn of my matches than the fires of hell below. The demons are smiling, they enjoy my torment, they know that they've done the worst. They are the ones who taught me to relentlessly torture myself. Does pain ever end? Even if it does its all for nothing. Hell is where there is no end, eternal suffering, a wasted sacrifice. I'll take my chances and hope this place isn't it. That's all I've got going for me. The hope of death. I hate the feeling of...

LOVE IN MY ARMS (III)-(my 3rd revised version)-(1976; Poretto Jetty, Galveston, Texas, struggling with being GAY)
love in my arms
here then gone
comes and goes
like some rare moon tide
sunrise soon brightened
into new day
but it s clearness
only added to my
ever deepening confusions
evening arrived
only a comfortable disguise
down to the beach i walked
as night s darkness
soon fell upon me
out at the end of a jetty
from which i stared up and out
at the seawall s street lights
shining down from high above me here
reflecting mercurially out into night s ...
