The Legend of Benzodiazepine
Hear now the legend of Benzodiazepine;
Dark Knight, Gate Keeper of the Void, Fallen Champion of Aegri Somnia.
Here lies at his feet the armies of Non Compos Mentis
And their commander, Chimera; cut clean from her courser,
Crying cowardly into the lioness's mane.
"Fear!" she opines to her conqueror,
"Fear hath brought me down at your gate.
Destruction of the void I believed my fate;
My devine purpose to extirpate
The power to annihilate all I hold dear.
Clear to me now my hubris;
All logic I suppress,
My mind was too curious, ...

Vanishing
( a Sonnet )
A life, with its veneer of tears and pain
That shimmer from a season’s sun and rain,
No vicar with a St. James Bible verse
Will honor you a free ride in a hearse.
When by volition taking of one’s breath,
Thus causes bringing on of one’s own death.
The vantage point of this is fading fast
From cultures tightly clinging to the past.
A vacancy that’s vying to be filled,
A burial for every one that’s spilled,
Will come to pass with every desperate vow,
For nothing’s...
A life, with its veneer of tears and pain
That shimmer from a season’s sun and rain,
No vicar with a St. James Bible verse
Will honor you a free ride in a hearse.
When by volition taking of one’s breath,
Thus causes bringing on of one’s own death.
The vantage point of this is fading fast
From cultures tightly clinging to the past.
A vacancy that’s vying to be filled,
A burial for every one that’s spilled,
Will come to pass with every desperate vow,
For nothing’s...

Just...
Let me die
Everyday fades to black
The pain proves I’m living
Each dream a nightmare
Let me die
If God is looking down
Why am I here
Why won’t you let go
Let me die
What can I do
I breathe but it’s no easier
Just living the biggest lie
Let me die
I make a wish
That I was never born
But the wishing is dry
Let me die
Give me the peace I crave
No more believing
I’ve paid my debt
Let me die
There are no doubts...
Everyday fades to black
The pain proves I’m living
Each dream a nightmare
Let me die
If God is looking down
Why am I here
Why won’t you let go
Let me die
What can I do
I breathe but it’s no easier
Just living the biggest lie
Let me die
I make a wish
That I was never born
But the wishing is dry
Let me die
Give me the peace I crave
No more believing
I’ve paid my debt
Let me die
There are no doubts...

Because I Have A Daughter
Because I have a daughter I cannot kill myself
Because of her I sit for hours crying at the fact I want to take my life but can’t because the thought of the consequences for her I cannot be so selfish
Because I have a daughter I have to act like I’m happy even though every part of me is screaming to just end it
My chest burns tears fill my eyes even thinking about the fact I do not want to live my life even though I have my daughter who I gave life
Because I have a daughter I cannot let myself take my life no matter how badly I want to just say fuck it all
Because...

Driven
Some people think that a deranged mind
can lead to someone committing suicide
and to a certain extent that is true for a few
but a person with their full mental faculties
chooses suicide in the cold light of the day
it takes careful planning and a lot of thinking
where, with what, when a date must be chosen
one needs to be careful if it's worth doing,.......
these are people who are crying for help
they're not cowards they have immense courage
but we have to deal with the "Why?"
people who are deranged are tortured
real or...

No Reason Just Death
This feeling of
Death
Wanting to
Die
For no good
Reason
It's just how I feel
Does there have to be
A cause?
It's how I feel
Anger
Despair
Hating myself
Worn out
For no reason at all
Just done
With everything
It's not that my life
Is bad
I just feel
Like I'd be better off
Dead
But no one
Believes me
Because I don't
Have a reason
To want to die
I have no heart wrenching story
That made me think this way
It's just how I am
And...
Death
Wanting to
Die
For no good
Reason
It's just how I feel

Anger
Despair
Hating myself
Worn out
For no reason at all
Just done
With everything
It's not that my life
Is bad
I just feel
Like I'd be better off
Dead
But no one
Believes me
Because I don't
Have a reason
To want to die
I have no heart wrenching story
That made me think this way
It's just how I am

Decaying Hopes
Will the euphoria
Of death take away
Her pain?
She sits on the
Bathtub side edge
Wearing only
A bath towel
Staring at the
Razor blade
In her hand
She wasn't crying
Nor was she sad
The only thoughts
On her mind were
Would she feel
Alive again?
If she were to
Cut through her vien.
Would her spilling
Blood wash away
All her pain?
It's not that
She wanted to die
She just wasn't
Any longer alive
She closed her eyes
She held her breath
Counted to ten ...
Of death take away
Her pain?
She sits on the
Bathtub side edge
Wearing only
A bath towel
Staring at the
Razor blade
In her hand
She wasn't crying
Nor was she sad
The only thoughts
On her mind were
Would she feel
Alive again?
If she were to
Cut through her vien.
Would her spilling
Blood wash away
All her pain?
It's not that
She wanted to die
She just wasn't
Any longer alive
She closed her eyes
She held her breath

The Awaited Day
The day
I've been waiting
For has finally
Arrived
I lay there
On the floor
With the bloody knife
Gasping for air
Clinging to my last breath
Deaths hand
Reaches for me
Whispering
"You done your best.
Come now. It's time leave with me".
My life was hopeless
I wanted to flee
Throwing myself
Away into the arms
Of death
For eternity
Was my answer
I thought
It seemed
I closed my eyes
Wondering where I belong
Questioning myself
'Is this what
I really wanted...

End of The Line Launderette and Dry Cleaners
Was there a shore here back when I went to the beach yestermorning?
Or was it just some kind of ill-bred story from my garbled dreams?
Still just an inch or so from homeless, after so many years of homes left ye behind.
And still yet no trumped-up, dirty lie truth to substantiate any ill'tended enmity.
Ye gotta hope tha'when the proverbial "deal goes down" it all comes out most clean.
We're all be sittjn'round with visions of really clean, total, perfect(ly) clean.
Then there be morticians have to Under'take the task of inserting an anal plug in...
